Simply put, this is a game that entered your knowledge in a way that didn't involve explicit advertising - TV campaigns, magazine inserts, trailers, being featured on Steam's boot or gushing forum posts. Basically, you just found it lying around and decided to take it home - and when you played it, it was incredibly awesome. Share your stories!
Actually, there's two games that I've located on Steam that nobody would probably ever advertise for any amount of money: Gundemonium and eXceed. How does Steam stuff get found 'by accident', you may be wondering? Reread the above paragraph: they weren't introduced to me through advertising.
I actually found the first one by putting a bunch of random letters into Steam's search bar. I don't remember what I was looking for, but I found a game called "GundeadliGne". I decided, it's there, why not give it a look? After that, it hooked me. I love games that are excessively Japanese and don't give a damn about it - and loli bullet hell is about as Japanese as it's possible to get while still having actual gameplay. The other two games in the series weren't that hard to search up and add to my wishlist, and as soon as they came out for real, I snapped them up.
eXceed was actually even more random - I just saw it on Steam's 'new releases' list and I couldn't tell from the sidebar what kind of game it was. So I decided to give it a look and found possibly the hardest game I've ever played: I can't even beat the first level. Of any of the three games in the package. Rockin' soundtrack though:
So anyway, enough about my own little discoveries - what games did you find without them being pushed into your face and wound up loving?
