I got this game around the same time last year and it broke my expectations several times.
It has earned Game Award (in 2024) and it still has updates to this day, it got a blance update recently and also free dlc coming to Spring next year.
Its a game that also has Easter Eggs and hints from the studios previous hit title "The Messanger". The studio clearly cares for this game so take advance of their kindness and passion during these joyful times.

itās been a minute since i indulged in a good indie game as i have been in my dark souls bag as of late but these were the games i would recommend that i love!
MUTAZIONE - DIE GUTE FABRIK (2019)
a gorgeous game which follows a girl named Kai on her journey to meet her dying grandfather. set on an island near rio which was struck by an asteroid causing the island to be inhabited by mutants. help their island thrive by working with the surrounding nature and meet everyone! the most beautiful soundtrack of any game iāve ever played, gorgeous visuals too. if you are looking for a low stakes low maintenance game to chill with then this is the one. there is also a free play mode where you can just make lovely gardens!
AFTERPARTY - NIGHT SCHOOL STUDIO (2019)
the lesser known cooler younger sister of OXENFREE (which i would also recommend). afterparty follows two recently deceased best friends navigate their way through (and hopefully out) of hell. after some digging they find a loophole to give themselves another chance at life; to out drink the devil. very personalised player experience with multiple different endings, and even your own personal demon criticising you for every decision you make. very good game, can be multiplayer, mostly point and click with a few minigames, more of a work out for the brain!
ABZU - GIANT SQUID (2017)
this game is a spiritual experience. you, as the player are given a vessel to explore the beauties are ocean has to offer. youāre job is to restore the various species to their rightful habitats. the game is so gorgeous, the soundtrack is amazing and you might learn something about your local marine life!
NIGHT IN THE WOODS - SECRET LAB (2017)
night in the woods is based in Mai Borowski, a recent college drop outās, hometown. she seeks to find meaning and stability in her old life which is irreparably different than before. with mystery and emotional depth, many find this game to be the perfect thing to play when youāre feeling lost in life!
SPIRITFARER - THUNDER LOTUS GAMES (2020)
in spiritfarer you play as stella, a girl with big shoes to fill. stellaās new job is to be the ferrymaster and escort the across the everdoor and to the afterlife. stella reunites with loved ones and departs from them too, in the mean time accommodating to the spirits whims. gorgeous game that deals with themes of grief but has a lot to do in it!
CHEF RPG - PIXEL ARCHITECT (2024)
chef rpg made by noah, otherwise known as pixel architect, is an upcoming āstardew valleyā game centering a young chef who flees their life in the big city to white ash harbour to revive a once famous restaurant. the coolest thing about this game is that you can watch the developer make it! on noahās youtube channel you can watch him create this game piece by piece. im really looking forward to it coming out!
COFFEE TALK - TOGE PRODUCTIONS (2020)
this game has a special place in my heart. in coffee talk you play as a barista in a coffee shop thatās only open at night. you spend your time making drinks for regulars and listening to their story develop night after night. the drinks you make have a big impact on the game. thereās a second game now which i havenāt played yet but this is a super relaxing games which packs a good punch in the emotional department!
STRAY - BLUETWELVE STUDIOS (2022)
iām sure youāve seen this game before. you, a little cat, navigate the ghost of an underground metropolis. the empty and failing city seems a little less lonely when you meet B-12 the friendly drone that assists you in navigating the unknown territory!
NOT INDIE: BEYOND TWO SOULS - QUANTIC DREAM (2013)
every single time someone says they like life is strange i tell them they have to play this! Jodie is a girl who has had a gift her whole life, what she does with that gift is up to you. with multiple different endings, it can be pretty high stakes. you should def play!!!
so sorry this was so long, i hope you enjoy some of these as much i have! xoxo

In the Indonesian indie adventure/magical realism game, A Space for the Unbound, you play as Atma in his final days of high school. Turns out it is also the final days of the world.
Prepare yourself for an emotionally impactful story about loss, grief, and mental illness that is brought to you in a warm, pixel art world. I have no idea what a seaside town in Indonesia was like in the 1990s, but the game absolutely transported me to this place the developers created. The game is powerful at making you feel nostalgic, even if like me, you have no nostalgia for this type of place IRL. The original score (and an original ballad!) add to the ambiance.
Fair warning: a lot of the gameplay involves running around doing fetch quests, so if that is something you hate, you might find that annoying; however, the charming world, compelling characters, and interesting story kept me engaged through those parts of the game. There is also some mild puzzle solving and even fighting mechanics!
Reviews for this game are pretty universally glowing, and they are all right. If you heard about this game last year and didn't play it, this is your sign! If you haven't heard of it, now you know :)
PET. EVERY. CAT and prepare some tissues. I cried!

Iāll come back to confirm once Iāve completed it, but so far this is probably the best game Iāve ever played. The trailer does not do it justice, itās brilliant.
FFX was my favourite game growing up and itās captured that feeling but updated it in a way that is so incredibly satisfying. some of the best combat Iāve ever played, and so very beautiful. Well acted, compelling story. Itās like a beautiful combination of all of my favourite games. Turn based combat but with real-rime elements (a bit like a much more developed Sea of Stars). plays on JRPG tropes (my fav character is the moody dark-haired magical woman) but less exaggerated, combined with the feel, exploration and traversal, and multicoloured whimsical landscape of my my favourite action adventure games (Most recently Kena and South of Midnight, but obviously my favourite Alice:Madness). Also love how I can essentially make it so my party is all women, never thought Iād see the day.

If you still don't know what present to get for your loved ones, just throw money at them. It the ultimate cop-out, they can buy anything they want or save the money for something else AND you get more time to do other things instead of looking/ searching for a present. Its a Win, Win.
