Phoenotopia: Awakening - a metroidvania/Zelda-like where you play as a girl with pink hair and pronouns. Something happens to the adults in your village early on and you have to go out and find answers / save the world. Great sense of adventure/exploration, charming pixel art, frequently funny dialogue, and an absolute fucken banger soundtrack.
Rain World - a "survival-platformer", whatever that means. You play as a smol animal (a slugcat) who got separated from your family during a rainstorm and must now figure out how to survive in an alien environment. The creature AI in this game is incredibly complex, and the entire game is designed around the idea that you're not special, you're just another animal. That said, there is an intricate plot, and it's gradually revealed to you as you play and explore.
OneShot - a puzzle-adventure game with heavy fourth wall breaking. Not going to elaborate much as it's best experienced blind. It's pretty short too, like 6 hours long
