I'd go with untitled goose game. It was funny for like 5 minutes than it just became another haha quirky indie after the fact

Yeah Goat Simulator was also like that. You more or less get the "joke" in the trailer and then playing the game is utter shite-arse.

However an actual indie-game I could never get into was Celeste. I couldn't get along with the mechanics at all so I never even got out of the first level. I'm sure the game is great, but the movement was just not for me at all so I'll never know.


I completely agree with the goat simulator one, I used to watch videos about it when I was a younger and then I got to play the game and it was pretty ass tbh

Almost all of the recent games I see do this all market themselves as horror, so what's the point of the bait-n-switch? If you know what's up about the game and you are forced to sit through 3 hours of bullshit cutesy gameplay to get to the actual horror, then it's a crap game. Recently saw an advertisement for an upcoming game called "Giggleland" as well as a released game called "MiSide" that fit this build in my eyes.


i hate this genre because its the only thing people do now

"Look oversaturated ps1 game!!! But actually it's a horror game!!!!!!!!!" WAOS WHO COULD HAVE THOUGHT!!!!!!!! I FUCKING HATE WHOEVER STARTED THIS TREND CUZ WE KNOW NOW!!!! AND BTW, TAPE PLAYERS DID NOT HAVE PLAY SIGNS IN THE CORNER BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE THE STUPIDEST FUCKING THING INVENTED

Nah, I think he meant these games are great, but of course there are more shitty indie titles than the good ones


(Honestly I'm surprised Wegra did not talk shit about them, I feel these games are already rather popular)

I mean

alot of these game try smth new, that’s what indie is about, trying smth that differentiates from the norm and having creative freedom.

I can’t name a lot of indie games I would say are bad because alot of them aren’t.

it really comes to how you feel about the mechanics and story with these games

Undertale.


Check out the Flash RPG I made in 2024. It takes about 25 minutes to complete.
