MODERATORS
 

This might be a slightly unusual attempt at a prompt, but might draw some appealing unusual options.

The way it goes: Suggest games, ideally the kind that you believe would have relatively broad appeal. Don't feel bad about downvotes, but do downvote any game that's suggested if you have heard of it before (Perhaps, give some special treatment if it was literally your game of the year). This rule is meant to encourage people to post the indie darlings that took some unusual attention and discovery to be aware of and appreciate.

If possible, link to the Steam pages for the games in question, so that anyone interested can quickly take a look at screenshots and reviews. And, as a general tip, anything with over 1000 steam reviews probably doesn't belong here. While I'd recommend that you only suggest one game per post, at the very most limit it to three.

If I am incorrect about downvotes being inconsequential account-wide, say so and it might be possible to work out a different system.

Dink Smallwood is an old fantasy role playing game. It has a small community that makes mods for it. It's really dumb but it's free to play and very short if you have nothing better to do.

edit: Wow! I didn't realize a lot of people here know this game. That's actually cool.

Dude I loved that game back in the day. So many great mods for it too

Damn, I remember that game being included as a bonus in an old magazine CD with lots of RPG Maker 2000 stuff
