Hello, i was wondering if there are any good indie games on steam to try out. Can be free or paid, i don't mind if there's no native linux build either (i play stuff with wine/proton anyways lol) and i don't mind the genre. I've been thinking of trying something new as of recent so i thought i might ask it here.

Thanks!

Eastward is probably my favorite video game ever. I actually learned about it from a post here on lemmy a month or two after its release and I don't think I've ever seen it mentioned in the wild since. Gorgeous pixel art, characters you fall in love with, wonderful soundtrack. It's not for everyone - it's very dialogue-heavy and a lot of the story is left open-ended - but the world they've built is so compelling and packed with emotion. It's really heartwarming at times and beautifully creepy at other times.
