What is an overlooked indie PC game from the last 5 years that deserved more recognition?

Bonus points if you can tag the developer too.

Please share this post, there's a reason I'm asking that could hopefully benefit the devs specifically.

This is a rough week (in a rough year in a rough decade) for the game industry.

Be extra kind and supportive to those that have lost their jobs, whether it's sharing other role openings or just being a friend they can talk to.

We'll fast track applications to the GIG this week.

I present to you my new release! AMORE-De-Lic is an album about obscure Japanese video games that deserve some love.

It is a Punk album, because the most punk thing I could ever do is sing about the stuff I love!
