What are some of your favorite content creators that highlight small indie games? Can be big or small, I'm just looking to find some lesser known games for a change.

Edit: I'm checking all of these out, thanks everyone!

Playframe doesn’t exclusively highlight small indie games, but they do cover a fair number of them alongside various bigger games.

Although, I guess it depends on how unknown a game has to be to “count” as “lesser-known”; I’ve certainly been introduced to games by Playframe, but, it’s not like they’re going onto Steam Roulette or anything.

Some examples of games that I personally hadn’t heard of until they showed up on Playframe include “Worldless”, “Cursed to Golf”, “Frog Detective”, “Say No! More!”, etc. I don’t think any of those are, like, deeply obscure or anything, but, they’re “smaller” indie games in my book.

Also, they’re just really rad people.

I don't really know what qualifies either tbh, but it's just easy to only hear about the big stuff coming out. Thanks for the recommendation!
