I'm now imagining this very bizarre scenario where someone is divorced, remarries, their first partner appeals the divorce and now they're guilty of bigamy.

They need normal people around to give their own posting the veneer of respectability. It's why they obsess with being given speaking time on college campuses and such. To be allowed to spout their views to regular people is already a win for them because it implies those ideas are worthy of sharing

This is particularly depressing just because the original trail photo likes fine to me, great even! I don't know why someone would even feel that it needs "touching up"

Since I've mentioned it twice in descriptions of other games, I might as well put it on the list proper. Another "you already know this one", but hey, it's good, it's known for a reason. Amazing aesthetic and great deductive puzzle design.

One of the many "cozy life game" types of games that followed in Stardew Valley's success, but I think with a unique enough premise that it works on its own. It does a great job of tying all of its various elements together into something cohesive

This is a bit of a borderline one as well - it was indie when it was made but Introversion sold the IP to Paradox a while ago. A very interesting management sim that raises a lot of ethical questions without hammering you over the head with it.

I'm not sure if this is "indie" exactly; it's another one where it comes from an era where the concept didn't really exist, but it was a "budget" title in its day which was kind of the same idea. A goofy, janky strategy game about spooking some dumb humans

Yet another "more going on than what it seems like on the surface" game (that's a bit of a theme for me). Tunic has so many secrets hidden in plain sight that you will think you're done and find an entire category of new puzzle you never noticed before.

Sticking with the "classic Roguelike" theme, Cataclysm is a less objective driven, more sandboxy survival Roguelike with a ridiculous amount of stuff in it. There are a bunch of fan forks if the base game seems like something you'd like but isn't exactly what you're looking for

I have not played Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup for several versions, so the current version is quite a bit different from my last experience with it, but it was a game I sunk many, many hours into back in the day. Another classic Roguelike, albiet a bit more modern than NetHack

This is an odd one, since it's a mod rather than a game, but it's such an extensive mod that it got its own dang store page on GOG. Base game STALKER/Anomaly is itself a strong recommend from me but the way GAMMA adds to it, it makes it into a whole new game.
