Hidden Gems that you should play

I know that it is kind of a stretch to label some of these games as "hidden gems", when some are more like cult classics and/or have thousands of Reviews on Steam, but it is really hard to differentiate here.. I am trying...

Wonderful! This is exactly what I was looking for, finding little hidden gems like these. Thanks for the list, I'm certainly going to add some of these to my backlog.
