I put almost 100 hours into my summer car. It's part car mechanic simulator, part survival game. Something about it just keeps drawing me in. Also there's a sequel coming sometime.
Slime Rancher is really cute and fun if you've got $20 to drop. It's fairly short but you could put some serious time in just vibing.
I don't know if Oxygen Not Included is considered obscure here, but it's a base builder popular with the Factorio kind of crowd.
The Long Dark is a fantastic survival game where you crash-land in the Canadian wilderness and play an open ended survival game where the only point is to live as long as possible.
Quadrilateral Cowboy. Just look up the videos. If it looks like you'll like it, you definitely will. Only took about 5 hours to finish though.
SpaceChem is basically a programming game, lay down complicated paths with operators and decision statements in loops that intertwine to meet the goal of each stage. Never beat it, but its a ton of fun if you're into that sort of thing.
Syberia is on sale on steam for $2 right now, haven't played it in at least a decade but it is my most memorable old school point and click adventure game.

Ngl, My Summer Car turned me into somewhat of a finnophile because of how weird it is and how fun the language sounds.
The game was also made by either only one person or a very small team too.
