It didn't die out, it just isn't the craze anymore. Those games are still out there. There's a massive amount of indie games that are really quite popular that capital G Gamers just ignore.

Did that furry high school game at one of Sony's State of Play presentations ever come out?

Loved child of light. Buns me out it never got a sequel. Also it's made by Ubisoft which is the polar opposite of indie.

Does The Artful Escape count as one? That game looks really neat.

This is what I was thinking of when I referenced games Gamers balk at, despite them having dedicated fanbases and audiences.

I wasn't big on those either. Other games already do what low effort artsy games do. They're just not pretentious enough to strip everything else at the game and force you to only pay attention to one or 2 aspects. There's plenty of fully fleshed out games that you can find yourself purposely walking slow through interesting locations to really take in. It doesn't have to be a rough draft of a full game for you to do that.

But with that being said. There are still some good ones. The thing is, when you set out to only do one specific thing and it's not absolutely amazing and top of it's class, why wouldn't I just play a game where that's just a minor part of a much bigger world

It's a creepy game with TCG mechanics. But pretensions? Really?
I meant more the artsy side than the pretentious one

Hades is one of those games. Was that the joke, tc?

Supergiant games got big by doing nothing but indie darlings.

@Punished_Blinx its worth playing, I ran through it recently. Real chill, not a long game, and a fun overall game.

Spiritfarer was amazing also, probably my favorite game of 2020.

It's an overly emotional VN probably about dinosaurs knowing that an asteroid is coming to kill them all or something like that.
