Thanksgaming 24 continues into Bleak Friday, to bring joy and light into the darkness. Here are another 20 games you’ve almost definitely never heard of before, but each offering something unique, special, or outright bizarre. Get your wishlist-clicking fingers ready.

Following on from yesterday’s first 20 games, I’ve once more randomly picked another 20 from the almost 500 emails sent in with submissions. It’s heartbreaking to leave 460 games unmentioned, but I have to stop somewhere, because apparently humans need food and sleep.

I implore you to follow the links on anything here that catches you eye, and wishlist or buy what you find. This slideshow features the most extraordinary range of genres, game-types, and aesthetics, from predominantly tiny teams of astonishingly talented people, some out now, some coming soon. Support them! Even if it’s to follow the link to their Bluesky and message them saying you think they’re incredible.

And now, dive in, to a selection of such variety you’ll rub your eyes in disbelief.
