      What Remains of Edith Finch. Is that a 'small' enough game? Affected me deeply, tho.

        Maybe. I consider Greedfall as indie game as not really known. I love it. So, maybe, yes. the "small" is little bit too much.... 😅

          This was such a good interactive story. Took me less than a day to go through it, but there are some sections I will never forget. The bathtub and the fish plant created some crazy emotions, I was happy to piece together what was happening, but then I had to see it through without any way to avoid the inevitable.

          (Trying to stay ambiguous for anyone who wants to check out it. You totally should!)

            Small indie film? Dear Zachary is a documentary produced on a shoestring budget, and it is an absolutely devastating piece of art. Just thinking about the film puts a lump in my throat.

                      Hollow Knight was just so much well-curated content for the price. I got it on sale for $7.50, and after I played through it, I had to go buy it again at the full $15 because I felt like I'd ripped Team Cherry off.

                        17776, especially the start and end (you do not need to care about American football at all to enjoy this story)

                          The game I wanted to say was already said, so I'll go with a movie! The 2018 Korean film "Burning".

                              Thomas was alone. Never have I had such strong feelings for a bunch squares and rectangles

                                    It's a roller coaster of uncontrollable tears and searing anger in equal parts. Devastating is the perfect word.

                                      Also you just got me to realise that Sword of the Sea is actually out literally today

                                        Mine is music and the answer is essentially literally any Indy band that I like, I like WAY more than any mainstream artist.

                                        but like I have several Indy bands that do different styles, so I don't know what my actual taste is.
                                        here's my recent plays if anyone wants to tell me 🙂

                                          $5 here! indie games have such great value.
