#1MiSide
Shared: tier:indie
The dating-sim wrapper is bait, and MiSide knows it. What starts as idle chores with an anime girl becomes a genre-hopping psychological horror that two developers built better than most studios manage with a full team.

#2Content Warning
Shared: tier:indie
Four friends, one camera, and a procedurally generated underground full of things that want to kill you on film. Content Warning is the co-op horror bit that somehow became the social satire nobody asked for but everyone needed.

#4Manor Lords
Shared: Solo Developer
If you've ever wished Banished had the supply-chain depth of a Paradox title and the battlefield weight of early Total War, this is the closest anyone has come to building that game.

#5DEVOUR
Shared: tier:indie
Four friends, one possessed cult leader, and a farmhouse full of goat cages. DEVOUR is the budget co-op horror that punches well above its price tag, as long as you show up with a crew.
