Or things by Devolver Digital and smaller/niche things.

They aren't technically indie but are cult classic games that were basically the most indie the industry got back when the indie scene wasn't a very big scene at all. There are a few games I included which aren't technically indie but were definitely created with the indie spirit, such as The Silver Case and D: The Game, which are under the cult tab. I will be excluding demos, as there's a high tendency for demos to never turn out finished games. I may mention certain games again in the future if they got sizable updates to experience, came out of Early Access with something worth checking out, got a port/remaster which adds new stuff worth checking out, is an episodic game which released new episodes worth checking out, released a piece of DLC worth checking out, but those will be very specific exceptions.

I'll mention any console exclusive horror games worth mentioning, but not if a port of a game that released previously on PC finally came to consoles (like SOMA is coming onto Xbox One soon, but first released in 2015). Likewise, I am focused on the PC scene more than consoles. This will be indie focused, for example Resident Evil 7 was obviously a pretty big deal and well received game earlier this year but I think most interested in horror already will know about it. Measuring from September 26th, 2016 - September 25th, 2017, maybe giving you a catalog of titles to check just in time for Halloween or October. I want to bring up what's been very popular, overlooked, and very enjoyable within this last year in the indie horror scene, with a cut-off date for September 26th the previous year (so indie horrors coming out in October will be counted for next year, for those curious). The indie horror boom has really done a lot for the horror genre, as horror games have been indie dominated since even before the boom occurred (and some of the first big indie boom games came in the form of horror or horror-ish games like LIMBO and Amnesia: the Dark Descent). Horror games are going through a second golden age right now, but one that likely won't be fully appreciated until years down the line when people can more look back at the scene rather than the ocean of games releasing almost daily it is right now.

If you arrived here from a PC Gamer article, I suggest you check the Python source code and one of these rankings:

Contradiction - the all-video murder mystery adventure (appID=373390).

To reproduce the results, use data downloaded between June 19 and June 23 (found in my initial commit to Github), with alpha ~ 10^(6.45), which arises from an optimization with 1 example of 'hidden gem':

The Python source code can be found on Github.

Finally, here is a reference to the NeoGAF post explaining the method, and the NeoGAF post explaining the idea behind the optimization of the only free parameter. The quality measure comes from SteamDB and the popularity measure comes from SteamSpy API. Therefore, the score of a game is defined as the product of a quality measure (its Wilson score) and a decreasing function of a popularity measure (its players total forever). A 'hidden gem' is defined as a high-quality game (hence the 'gem') which only got little attention (hence 'hidden'). This post contains a ranking of Steam games, based on a score intended to favor 'hidden gems'.
