Mine is Killer Frequency.
All time high of 337 players on steam and on average 80 to 100 players a day.
A game where we are a radio host and in the first few minutes someone calls to our late night show saying they gotta bounce town because there's no other cops cause they were killed and they gotta get help from a near town, so we are in charge of the 911 while playing banger music, discovering what happened and helping people survive the mysterious serial killer.

i really liked that “no players online” game, it kind of creeped me out in a good way, i don’t really see much content on it so, or maybe im just not looking hard enough
Anger Foot deserved a much bigger reception than it got. Best game of the year by a colossal margin in my opinion.
This game’s certainly no secret, but I won’t play a better game this year than Pentiment
Oh yea is that the whistling guy game, I loved watching Insym play it
Section 8.
Gemini Rue was a very nice surprise. I didn’t expect much from a game I had never heard about but I ended up loving it.
Outward
Three games in different genres that all deliver on the “start out weak, end up absurdly strong” gameplay feel
**Chronicon** – top down 2D ARPG. This is probably the best ARPG I’ve played in terms of meaningfully getting stronger at regular intervals, great build diversity, without being so complicated you need to follow guides/stare at wikis. Great if you want to play Path of Exile but don’t want to spend 100 hours bricking characters before you figure out how to play.
**Tainted Grail: Conquest** – Roguelite Slay the Spire set in a Dark Souls-esque world. A bunch of different classes, each that emphasise different styles of play. Also, the NPC quests that you progress as you play through multiple runs are quite interesting (and do the Dark Souls thing where it’s not immediately obvious how to progress them)
**Tiny Rogue** – top down minimalist twin stick shooter. It takes a regular sprawling dungeon crawler ala Binding of Isaac, and simplifies a lot while keeping the most fun part (item synergies, stat upgrades etc)
Deadly Days
It’s been kinda growing lately, and it’s still in development, but voices of the void is a very cool game.
It’s about catching space signals in the alps, and alien events happen from time to time.
It’s currently free on itch io.
Asura’s Wrath. It’s a dead game but like it has so much potential to be a really good game gor 2024-2025 it jas that material.
MLB Power Pros, it’s my favorite game of all time but they stopped translating it to English in 2008 and haven’t made one since because it wasn’t popular enough
Hacknet, it’s a hacking simulator game but the underlying story is really good
I enjoyed Killer Frequency quite a bit. I need to go back and do a failure playthrough, it’s also my favorite basketball game of all time.
I mention these games whenever I have the chance, but here we go again with my list of roguelites I love that never get mentioned: Seraph’s Last Stand, BloodDome99, and Void Scrappers.
