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...

Tacoma is a great little game, was a bit of a surprise when I played it as I didn't like their previous game much but found Tacoma much easier to get invested in.
Yes^^ I really really did not like Gone Home. At all. But Taxoma was actually good :D

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.
