What's your hidden Steam Auteur Gem? (lemmy.ca)

Steam is full of asset-flip garbage and clunky "chase-the-fad" nonsense. But in an environment where only the best of the best get any real attention, what's your secret "I can't believe I ever stumbled across this" gem?

Bonus points if it feels personal or revealing of the creator, but that's not necessary. Bonus points if its fun to play, but again not necessary. My only real requirements is that almost no one has heard of it, and the project was eventually finished. What I'm looking for is the weirdest "complete" experience you've ever found on Steam.

Teleglitch

I loved this game for the ambiance, story and low fi aesthetics, as well as excellent gameplay

The "bad" graphics take me back to when your brain had to use imagination to fill in the gap of what the technology wasn't ready to show you

The game is hard, but with practice it's manageable and very satisfying.

The game was made by a duo from like Lithuania who I never managed to follow what else they worked on. This plus the fact that I've still never met anyone who's even heard of the game, truly make it my personal gem

By the way excellent thread! Thank you for posting this! I'm enjoying everyone's suggestions
