Dark hidden gems

Gloom hangs over these little-known stories and you feel it in every room you enter. Stonemachia sends you across a plague-struck land swapping chess-based armor to parry sculpted angels, while Iron Blight shuts you in a rainy town bedroom holding back creatures outside, and Schrödinger's Call has you logging regrets from stranded voices through a single telephone. Expect survival, investigation and visual novels built around death, grief and despair.
