Which indies did you discover and would love more people to know about? I'll start: The Pale Beyond. Not sure if it's a hidden gem tbh, but it's such a good story rich game. I laughed, I cried and felt the characters struggles. If you like story rich games/ choices matter, check it out.

Andor's Trail is a foss roguelike with a twist that it's story based, something quite rare in this genre.

Immortal Life is a farming game but with a Wuxia twist where you can use chinese magic to help you do your chores and there's a twin stick combat inside the dungeon. What surprised me was seeing the game selling well on steam, but never seeing a single article about it, strangely common with chinese indies over here.

I would imagine that most articles about Chinese Indie Games are written in Mandarin, so it's unlikely you'd see them without the ability to read Chinese.

The games are in english and they talk about japanese indies all the time though.
