Hello, i was wondering if there are any good indie games on steam to try out. Can be free or paid, i don't mind if there's no native linux build either (i play stuff with wine/proton anyways lol) and i don't mind the genre. I've been thinking of trying something new as of recent so i thought i might ask it here.

Thanks!

I played s.p.l.i.t fairly recently, and I was seriously impressed. It's a very unique narrative-driven game where you're in communication with a small group of hackers in a uniquely dystopian world, and you need to collaborate with them to hack a specific device.

It's only about an hour or two long, but it's priced to match at $3, and wow did it leave an impression on me, it's unlike anything else I've ever played.

Highly recommend it if that sounds at all intriguing.

Knowing some basic MS-DOS/Linux terminal commands beforehand, like how to change directories/navigate would be helpful (this quick guide would be all you really need).
