Find games like Sprout Valley, A Date with Death, Night of the Nun... aka Nun Massacre, DISORDER, Therapy with Dr. Albert Krueger on itch.io, the indie game hosting marketplace
It’s more of a space for indie games without having the barrier of dealing with Steam and all that set up.
Like if I wanted to make a game about pooping in my neighbor’s yard, I can just upload the game to itch and have it ready for people to play. (Or sell it too).
With Steam, you have a significantly bigger set up. There so many more things to configure, things that a indie dev may not be ready to answer yet. Not to mention, it opens up the door to reviews and criticism from the “general gaming public”.
It’s common for most indie devs to use itch.io to test run their game ideas with a small crowd before launching it on Steam.
They have all the super indies. Juice Galaxy is on there, so is Manic Miners which is a fan remake of the old Lego Rock Raiders game, and it’s honestly awesome.
For me it’s the game jams they host and the interesting titles that come out of those as well as all the games for playdate that are being developed there.
GOG as well, if anyone was looking to play Dragon Age: Origins, i would recommend their version, everyone seems to have trouble with the Steam version, but i had no issues and it’s $3 rn

I’ve never used itch. What’s good about it? What sets it apart from steam?

It’s the place to go for small indie games.
