Fight N Rage was my favorite beat'em up before Streets of Rage 4 released, made by mexicans I think, very stylish and manga influenced, tons of juggling and branching paths.
Valdis Story was the hollow knight of it's generation, awesome metroidvania with great bosses and combat with good combos, but it didn't get tiresome like castlevania mirror of fate because regular enemies weren't health sponges, bosses were where you let loose.
Not technically in their bedrooms but made by students - Narbacular Drop. It was the game that spawned Portal. It’s not a great game, per se, but I’ll never forget the paradigm-shifting moment I had when I realized what was happening.
Valve ended up hiring the entire team to work on Portal.
Several hundred hours of Oxygen not included...
POST VOID and Brotato
Undertale. I was blown away by the soundtrack and the cleverness of it all. The twist was good too, but I hated the total completion grind a bit. But it is optional.
Crypt of the Necrodancer. Again, blown away by the soundtrack and how confidently it pulled off the idea of a rogue-like rhythm game.
Insurgency: Sandstorm. This might be stretching the concept of "indie" a bit, but its predecessor was definitely an indie game. This is an excellent arcade/realistic FPS shooter.
Battle Brothers: Battle Brothers is a turn based tactical RPG which has you leading a mercenary company in a gritty, low-power, medieval fantasy world. You decide where to go, whom to hire or to fight, what contracts to take and how to train and equip your men in a procedurally generated open world campaign. The Godfather of Squad-Management-Games!
Songs of Conquest: If you like Turn-Based-Strategy and know HoMM3, you will love this game! Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown. Wage battle against armies that dare oppose you and hunt for powerful artifacts.
Rain World and Space Station 13
IDK if this counts, but I loved SPACEPLAN.
Orwell, the first one
Fall Guys, back before the vaulting fiasco
