Little Red Lie


Set in the eastern Toronto suburb of Scarborough, Little Red Lie is an interactive short story with adventure game elements. Inspired by the growing gap in wealth and stability between the baby boomers and their descendants, the game takes place in the relatively near future, and speculates a world in which major financial institutions begin to shift strategically towards securing the only asset of a generation with little to no value: Their inheritances. In the midst of this final collapse, you take control of two people living on either side of this equation. The contrast in their fates - and what it reveals - is only the foundation of what is ultimately a drama about debt, family and the truth about honesty.

I decided to create this Thread to post if I can daily, at least one Videogame which is not very well known to most of us [not necessary very unknown either]. Most of them will be indie games as you guested.
I will put them each time with a specific format I have to be more official.
If you have other suggestions to tell me to list here, please let me know.
Cheers!!!

Very good idea for a thread.
Nicely done.

I love threads like this.
The opportunity to share a few treasured finds with others or pick over recommendations appeals greatly.

Are you open to suggestions from the peanut gallery?
If so I'd like to recommend not so much a game but a developer.
Northway Games.
A husband and wife development team.
Most recent title is Rebuild 3, a zombie (wait, come back!) survivor management game released on IOS (also available on steam)
It's a natural evolution of the rebuild series, expanding on the accessible and fun mechanics of the previous editions and I've casually sank many an hour into this game without thinking.
They're also the developers responsible for Incredipede and Fantastic Contraption both of which are worth a play for sure.
They also have a title called Deep under the sky impending, though I don't know too much about it and a VR compatible version of the classic Fantastic Contraption.

Now, I know this doesn't fit the format of your suggestions, but It's not one I expected to be included in the big list.
More I was aiming to name drop them here in the kind of thread where such a thing would fit and hope someone is intrigued enough to have a look and perhaps enjoy their games as much as I have.

snip

Thank you to be honest with the selection of games you suggest me.

Indeed, mostly I am looking for not so well-known games which aren't known to the most of us.
For example did you know there are some Amiga Fan games and I never saw ANYONE talking about them?
Or even weird overlooked Arcade games which you MUST play?

Maybe in the future I can include Deep Under the Sky, but for now I will leave it like that here.
Thank you once again.

Soulless


A hybrid of Draconius and Impossible Mission, Soulless is an exploratory platformer that sees you playing the role of a betrayed King who has been transformed into a beast and trapped within an subterranean prison, your mission being to gather the soul-stones hidden throughout the 70+ screen underworld in order to regain your humanity. When collected, the soul-stones must be placed in the correct sequence within the chamber at the top of the map, but your quest will not be easy; not only is the underworld populated by foul traps and evil critters to avoid, but every time you play each of the stones will be hidden within a different object and their order randomised!

Jack The Reaper


Jack the Reaper is a 2D platforming game revolving around the titular Jack, a custodian of the dead who must investigate a strange occurrence: the moon has fallen from the sky onto Earth, and all the souls that dwell there have returned to the world of the living! Jack must restore the natural order, fighting through countless levels and bosses to put the dead back to rest. The game will be presented as if it's been made for the SNES- graphics, music, and presentation-wise. The gameplay, on the other hand, was inspired by the Kirby games of the old days.

The Underside


The Underside is an exploration based action platformer in the vein (it's a pun~) of games like castlevania, metroid, and cave story. however, unlike most other games in this genre, the gameplay is driven more by plot than by free-roaming exploration (though the world is fully explorable).

Just to give some infor the the recent games I posted:

Even in the site write the game "Soulless" is sold out, you can still download game and play it for free.
Also the game "The Underside" is still in making after 10 years...so there is a high possibility this game is canceled.

Btw, Orbital Gear is now available for less than a dollar. So, please support these awesome developers ^^

Some questions related to that game. First of all, is that amazeballs music actually in the game? Because I need more multiplayer games with pump-up music ala PayDay 2 and Unreal Tournament. Second, how's the player base? Next, what's the skill ceiling/level like? And last, how are your own experiences with it?

- Yep the music is in. If you like, you can hear all the ost here:


- Sadly as I said, the player base is low right now, that why we need more players. Gladly, there are players when I was playing most of the times.

- My combination is Minigun + Grebade Launcher + Double Jump = BADASS!!!!!! However there are many kind of weapons they are aswesome as well, plus there are some stages which you need a specific combination to be UNSTOPPABLE!!!
