Howdy, all you cesspoolers. How about a 'Turkish Half-Life'? https://store.steampowered.com/app/1459260/Techlie/

Wrought Flesh also looks interesting.

REDAXIUM

The Norwood Suite would fit right in here I think!

Had a lot of fun with this one https://store.steampowered.com/app/1533470/TimeShifters/

A few games that might deserve a place here: Nightmare of Decay, and (though I haven't played it) Arthurian Legends.

ROOT by skunkape interactive is a game that I think would fit well here. Its a strange little stealth fps hybrid that isnt with out its jank and odd design choices but features an interesting visual style and a good soundtrack along with letting the player approach situations with guns blazing or by creeping through air vents (or a mix of both). its short but consistently is throwing new ideas at you which dont always gel well together but make for a pretty unique experience.

I'll take a look at these

below comment was going to be like 3x as long/detailed but the steam comment character limit is evil

Somewhere my knowledge is actually useful. Here's a few recs:

Exodus From the Earth is a late-2000s era shooter with gray, semi-sci-fi locations and plot, but you also get a triple-barreled shotgun. The AI are BASTARDS.

CHERNOBYL: The Untold Story is a short little pixel-art on-rails shooter with some USSR history lessons. Pairs well with a podcast.

Rogue Rocks is a great underrated roguelike. It's Asteroids with roguelike elements: sounds boring, but I 100� it and was left hungry for more. Great afternoon time-killer.

The Consuming Shadow is also a roguelike, with an interesting MS-Paint art style with heavy lovecraftian themes. Not my favorite from the dev, but his best commercial game for sure.

It was removed from steam, but Bloodbath Kavkaz is another Russian indie, panned on release for being a blatant ripoff of Hotline Miami, but I personally still think is worth playing for the absolutely insane story that it tells.

Good point

Hey! What about The Spy who Shot Me? David recommended it at some point, and it's definitely good and jank

does zeno clash qualify? I'm assuming it's in the same "incredibly good Source engine jank" category as E.Y.E.
