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.

I only stumbled upon the game because I saw someone, cannot remember who or even find the livestream, play a few seconds of the game before closing it and knowing I need it in my life, but Brok the InvestiGator.

Stream was from a small creator, that much I know because it was a furry creator on the platform. Randomly floated across my recommendations one early morning, so I had to look at it because I see a game with anthro characters and I can't help myself.
