I swear this game was made by someone who has never seen video games, and just created one by parallel invention without any awareness of tropes. It's somehow bizarre in a mundane way?
Right? it has every kind of vibe of being someone's passion hyperfocous like that Ullillia game. The sequel being more or less a regular game broke my heart.
Dungeons of Dredmore is great. Roguelike, easy to play a session in an hour or two, lots of weird items and powers and synergies, and it's all in a goofy, good natured setting that pokes fun at genre conventions.
I don't know if these are all proper hidden gems but I have never had a conversation with another person about any of these.

It really is a transmission from another world.

If you liked Dreadmore, you might enjoy Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup. It's free and it's fun, and you can play it in your browser if you like.
