Tell me what is the most recent game that you played that could be considered obscure to the average person. For me it would have to be cdda/cataclysm:Dark Days Ahead. This screenshot was made by me if you’re wondering.

    Check out Caves Of Qud. Is a super well developed rogue like(lite?), kinda feels like a crazy mix of dwarf fortress, dark souls, and morrowind.

    Takes a bit to figure out what the heck is going on, what it wants from you, and how to stop dying brutally to the most simple things, but once you get your toes into it it feels like it has massive potential for exploration and story building.

    It has some modes that are more forgiving, but dying in this game is weirdly satisfying in a way I can’t describe, I’m not even usually interested in rogue lites but this one is amazing.

    It will also run on a potato which is fantastic

      It’s on my wishlist and I don’t remember why. It sounds incredible haha.

      Does it have an “end”?

        I haven’t played it enough to really know, but I don’t think so. Its an open ended sandbox, there are quests and some of them seem pretty significant so you could set a character to a task and retire them once it’s done as an “end” haha
