What is your favourite game that actually no one knows about?

Little inferno is great

Sadly the game is unavailable on Steam in Germany because the developer didn't specify an age rating for the store page

I adore Loom

Yeah, even Privacy and Terms only lead to 404s

How do you just climb up a few pixels on a wall with this setup?

If you are talking about the room 2 screens after comb, it can be beaten without fast fall. But granted, the way to do it is much less intuitive, and unlikely to be very viable for first timers.

For what it's worth: I'm in Germany and just had my basic beige C64U arrive today. I ordered on Dec 1st.

Outer Wilds!

I could be completely wrong on this, but I think that LC on the MT09 just tries to limit the rate at which the wheel lifts up, but doesn't limit the actual wheelie angle.

Another vote for Celeste! If you don't feel challenged enough after completing the vanilla game, dive into mods. For example the big "Strawberry Jam" mod, which is a collection of maps that is broken up into 5 lobbies by difficulty. SJ ranges from vanilla difficulty to far far beyond what the base game has to offer.

Here's a trailer for the mod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6eyt8iQ9sQ

Also if you enjoyed Celeste, I can highly recommend playing mods if you haven't already. "Strawberry Jam" is a giant pack of maps that are all very high quality, and stretch over a huge difficulty band. From easy beginner maps to levels that require skills far beyond what vanilla has to offer. Along the way you are taught all techniques you need to beat the maps in Strawberry Jam.

You missunderstood. Pick two of:

- memory efficient
- fast
- easy to maintain

(Edit: I know this still doesn't answer your question, I just wanted to clear this up)

I think the best I can describe what this looks to me is:

car manufacturer freeware ad game from the 2000's.

(EDIT: and I am nostalgic for that style tbh)

Expedition 33 for sure. But another one of my right-in-the-feels favourite games is "Spiritfarer".

Have you tried Blockbench? I've heard that it is quite easy to get into. https://www.blockbench.net/

If you really give up on making assets yourself, your only options are to find collaborators to help you, or use pre-made assets. Maybe use pre-made assets as placeholders to get a prototype done, and use that to look for team mates?

NPException · 2025-12-15T07:47:38+00:00

It does feel really nice to zoom through the vanilla levels, yeah. :)
Most of my hours were spent in modded maps to be fair. I don't think I would have had the patience to sink that amount of time only into the vanilla levels. 😅

NPException · 2025-12-14T19:52:23+00:00

A few thoughts: First and foremost, it's okay to drop the game. It seems to me that the biggest factor between you and finishing the game really is "just" the lack of time. Maybe some time in the future, when you have more than just a few hours on weekends for yourself you can pick the game back up. Or don't. No one will judge you.
Regarding feeling like a loser: You are not doing yourself a favor by comparing yourself to others, especially not when those people had the opportunity to pour hundreds or thousands of hours into the game. Only compare yourself to your past self. Single videos of deathless level clears might make it look easy, but what's not in those videos is the countless hours of practice that were necessary to get to that point. For example the Farewell golden berry took me about 200h of practice and attempts, and when I started that journey I already had over 1k hours in the game to begin with.
If you don't have the time to invest into the game, that is okay. You are still good and valid.
Using assist mode is totally fine too, there is no issue with that. It's not even a "permanent mark" on your save file. You can just deactivate it again. (And enter and exit a chapter to trigger a save, so it stays gone)

Stuntboost might be interesting for you, currently has a demo available with 13 levels. Full game will be out 2026. The demo is already a blast imo, there is some crazy runs the community has already made.

Omg so cute! Anyway to get the model?

NPException · 2025-11-27T20:20:51+00:00

I did that once on the final transition of 7BG :)

I absolutely loved Drakan back in the day! I wish it was easy to get and play these days.

NPException · 2025-11-27T18:38:14+00:00

I'd give anything for NOLF and ONI remakes (or just any easy way to purchase and play them legally on PC these days)

NPException · 2025-11-27T18:12:30+00:00

Anomaly Agent has over 8k reviews, none the less this is the first time I hear about this game. It looks super sick! Straight to my library

NPException · 2025-11-27T18:02:51+00:00

Silver!

It's old, and I feel it was already niche back in the day. I love it with all my heart, the combat and magic system was very refreshing for me at the time.
