One of my hobbies when I'm bored is trying to find very obscure / under-the-radar indie games that are in development to give myself more things to be excited about lol. I kinda just jot the titles down on my phone and remind myself what's on the list every now and then, but I figured I would try to put a spotlight on some of these cool looking indie games in case other people are looking for some new stuff!
I'm going to leave off indie games that seem high profile, like Hollow Knight: Silksong, in order to focus on lesser known games. I'll split things up by genre/category so it's easier for you all to filter down to the types of games you all are into-- some games will fit into multiple genres, so I'll just pick one in that case.
I intend to keep adding to this thread periodically as I discover new stuff. Hope this proves to be useful for at least a few people!
