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
My best run ended when I unphased while still passing a wall. I died and got an achievement for breaking the laws of physics lol
I played the game with the steam controller and loved it
Don't have my pc anymore. I really wish the game would come out on console
Hahaha that's a great achievement. No matter how my characters die I never feel mad about it or like it was unfair or unwarranted which is usually what puts me off of roguelike games.
Someone else mentioned they are putting out a 1.0 release pretty soon! Maybe they will shift from feature development to porting it to consoles, I would love to get it for the switch
Yeah same I've laughed more often than not when I died
I haven't played for about a year now so probs a lot go new features too.
And yeha. Tangledeep works really well on switch so it would be great to add Qud to my collection
Any suggestions for playing with Steam Controller / Deck inputs? I find roguelikes difficult and sometimes frustrating to play without a keyboard, especially moving diagonally or avoiding moving multiple spaces. Keyboard allows precise inputs and often the keys are mnemonic as well (I for Inventory, M for Map, O for Open etc).
