Hello, i was wondering if there are any good indie games on steam to try out. Can be free or paid, i don’t mind if there’s no native linux build either (i play stuff with wine/proton anyways lol) and i don’t mind the genre. I’ve been thinking of trying something new as of recent so i thought i might ask it here.
Thanks!

… and if you have an inkling toward the OG ‘walking simulator’…
Dear Esther: Landmark Edition
I am mostly confident that all of those are either self published or published via what was at least at the time of original release of the game, a fairly small indie publisher.
EZ and EZ2 are technically mods for HL2 but they are pretty darn good and then quite good, respectively.
Dear Esther and MINERVA are also HL2 mods.
Squad is basically the old Project Reality mod for Battlefield 2, but made in Unreal Engine by at least originally about 75% of the old PR mod team.
Anyway, I tried to pick some games that are indie, but are not as well known, largely due to not being cutesy.
