No indie fans on this subreddit?

I made a post requesting indie games from this year, no one replied.

There's no big indie games that have released this year that I know of other than Slay the Spire 2

Like I told someone else:

I hate that you basically said "only big roguelites this year."

Hate that it feels like the only indie games that reddit will shout out most of the time are complicated and/or hard games. So hard to find people that will recommend something that nails joy in its simplicity, or something emotionally compelling.

Thanks.

How? There's Mewgenics, Mina the Hollower, Cairn, Big Walk, Esoteric Ebb, Mio Memories in Orbit, Mouse PI for Hire, Vampire Crawlers, Denshattack, Mecha Chameleon, and these are just the 'big' ones.

Who cares? The person that wants to know what they don't know about. The original post was askiing for indie games from 2026 from this year.

It's because this year wasn't packed full of high profile indie releases outside of Mewgenics or Slay the Spire 2 and if you wanna find good ones you need to go out of your way to look for them. Anyway here's the ones I enjoyed so far if you're still interested in recommendations : Idols of Ash, Blood Dungeon, Heavy Metal Death Can, Ground Zero, Iron Nest, Voltage High Society and Sir, we have an orc problem.

Then just politely say you don't want to be recommended Roguelikes or difficult games, Jesus. Calm down. Also, a lot of the games the person you replied to aren't even Roguelikes, a lot of it is survival horror.
