Steam is full of asset-flip garbage and clunky “chase-the-fad” nonsense. But in an environment where only the best of the best get any real attention, what’s your secret “I can’t believe I ever stumbled across this” gem?

Bonus points if it feels personal or revealing of the creator, but that’s not necessary. Bonus points if its fun to play, but again not necessary. My only real requirements is that almost no one has heard of it, and the project was eventually finished. What I’m looking for is the weirdest “complete” experience you’ve ever found on Steam.

    I like the Swindle It’s a platformer roguelike, you have 100 days to rob the police of an AI that will make crime impossible, but first you have to get enough money to go there and on equipment to not suck when you get there. it’s a deceptively deep game both with the mechanics and the strategy of what perks to get when. It took me about 40hrs to beat but it’s one of the few games I decided to 100% which took me about 120hrs.
