I'd recommend OneShot. It's an adventure game about making irreversible choices and the dilemma of whether to save a world or not. The message is clearer in the original freeware version, where you are warned not to close the game while playing. If you ignore it, the next time you open up the game, it plays out somewhat like what happens in Undertale's Genocide ending. The remake expands on the story and the gameplay, and is much more lenient on the player. You can find the original here and the paid remake here.
Let's post awesome free/indie games!

Hi folks!
I'm not sure if this is supposed to go here (and I do see that this topic wasn't used in years) but I think it fits in here best.
My team and me working on a hentai game called "Deathblight RPG- Operation Thunderfang" and we just released beta2 of it.
Mind you, it's a hentai game (which means NSFW stuff is in there) with demons and kemonomimi girls, but we would be happy if you'll give it a try^^

Ib - A short psych-horror game with multiple endings. I enjoyed this quite a bit.
Abobo's Big Adventure - abobosbigadventure.com: Abobo's Big Adventure - Full Game
It goes through a bunch of different genres, and lots of easter eggs for the people that grew up in the NES era.
The Expendabros - store.steampowered.com: The Expendabros on Steam
Run'n'gun chock full of awesome. If you like it and want more, Broforce is like $10, and much much more of this.

Neon Chrome - A top-down, roguelike, twin stick, shooter about stopping the overseer of a cyberpunk arcology. I like the art style, it's decently challenging, and it gets super satisfying once you have the ability to give your asset a heavy rifle and start stomping entire levels.

Airships: Conquer the Skies - store.steampowered.com: Airships: Conquer the Skies on Steam
It's about designing steampunk airships, tanks and fortifications and then taking on the enemy in a somewhat simple strategy setting. It was loads of fun trying to invent ships with particular traits! There are a lot of trade-offs to consider.
Factorio - store.steampowered.com: Factorio on Steam
This game is all about automation, scaling and logistics! You are stuck in an alien planet, and you need build a rocket to facilitate your escape. You design the production and logistics networks that help you turn simpler stuff into more complex products, eventually netting what you need for the rocket. You automate more and more, eventually you even have robots that expand the factory for you! I also thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, overall a game I'm very fond of.
Creeper World 3: Arc Eternal - store.steampowered.com: Creeper World 3: Arc Eternal on Steam
It's a strategy/tower-defense game where you have to fight off a grey goo thing. It's not too complicated, but definitely well designed. It can be very interesting to try to figure out how to beat the levels in optimal time, besides the story is actually quite decent. Definitely recommend it!

Quite a short puzzle game, but watch out for the boss battle in the end. Can be tricky. Shame there's only a skeleton plot, though...the demon characters had some promise. All in all, a great diversion.

End Roll. It’s an rpg maker game about Russell Seager, a teenager who receives an experimental treatment. You go through seven days of his dreams. It has a ton of sidequests to do. It is a very dark and pessimistic game though, so it’s best if you’re at least eighteen years old to play.
Farethere City is an earlier game by the same creator. It’s like End Roll, but with no combat and a story that isn’t depressingly dark. It’s about this guy named Pigula who looks like Plankton and wants to open up a shop of his own.

Nova Drift
It's a Bullet Hell game where you control a spaceship and fight off endless hordes of enemies. As you progress, you gain levels and get to choose in which direction you upgrade your ship.
It has really tight mechanics, and there are loads of combos and upgrade-paths to go with, lots of room for experimentation and optimization, and it's not just that you have many options, but also that so many of them are in fact viable. Don't let the fact that it's in 'early access' dissuade you, it's as good as a finished product by now.
Here's the trailer:

Resident Edgelord
Inside is one of my favorite games. It's not free (I think it's a one-time $3.99 purchase on the app store), but it's an action/horror platformer with a lot of puzzles. The plot is kind of up to interpretation: there's no lore explanation and a lot of people chalk it up to symbolism. The atmosphere is chilling, the gameplay is super simple, everything about it is just an extremely interesting experience. It's from the same people who made LIMBO if anyone is familiar with that game

Another one that I've enjoyed is Oxenfree. It's a supernatural thriller. You have to explore a military island's cryptic past after an overnight party-gone-wrong, and it has multiple endings depending on which course of action you decide to take as you solve the mystery. I played it on my phone but you can also play it on PS4, Linux, Windows, and Xbox
