Overlooked Indies

All these had less than 100 reviews at the time I bought them but deserve many more.

Maybe they have a really cool idea which deserves to be fleshed out or amazing art direction. Maybe they're just fantastic games it's a crime more people don't know about. Regardless of the reason, this page is where I make my small contribution to getting the word out.

Key Fairy (Steam)

A truly whimsical Metroidvania with the gameplay of Sanabi but pacifist. Really enjoyed the vibes of this one and the gameplay is solid/surprisingly intuitive as well. Plus it's made by fellow Aussies!

Nothing Beyond this Point (Steam)

A top-down twin stick shooter Metroidvania where your health is also your ammo. There's a surprisingly good story here, and evocative visuals despite the central hook of being set in a void. Great if you enjoy exploration and sequence breaks, plus the combat is very solid. I had a tough time putting this down despite coming in with fairly low expectations. Also another Aussie dev, swear I'm not biased!
