@sgtm.bsky.social As a big indie game fan, I will take up your challenge and try to do 3 a day. Starting off with Gnosia! It’s a single player social deduction game with great art. The characters have quirks that affect how they approach the social deduction. store.steampowered.com/app/1608290/...

I will definitely buy that. I was going to buy the game immediately if it was $10 or less and was surprised that it was only like 6 dollars. But it was definitely worth it!

Also quoting this to say that Obra Dinn was the game that really got me into indie games and also is so good that it changed my sleep phase schedule and I go to bed at 6 am now.
Let's make it a tiny thread, because Return of the Obra Dinn is also on sale during this event, and it's god damn one of the best games ever. Like, I can't describe just how good this is, but every time you get stuff right it plays a little piece of music that feels so god damn rewarding. Play it!

Quoting this before the sale ends to say that this is my favorite game of 2025! I adore the character writing, mythology, and mystery! And there’s canon queer people. (But can’t tell you who because spoilers.)
There's currently a Steam Detective Fest event right now, and there's some very neat games on sale, such as The Séance of Blake Manor, a game that is quite honestly pure genius. I still need to play more of it to give it a proper recommendation, but it's been thoroughly brilliant so far.
