We review the best Indie games

👋 Welcome & About the Network

Hey, I’m Gingy — I run this group as part of a small curator network focused on clear, honest recommendations.

Hidden Indie Vault exists to spotlight indie games that deserve more attention.
Lower visibility, creative ideas, and solid execution are the priority here — not hype or sales charts.

I run this Steam group as part of a small curator network of 10 focused groups, each dedicated to a specific type of game.
The goal of the network is simple: clear, honest recommendations without fluff, tailored to different player interests.

Each group has its own niche so reviews stay relevant and easy to trust. If a game appears in one group, it’s because it genuinely fits that focus.

📝 How My Reviews Work (Important)

I keep my recommendations simple and honest:

👍 Recommended
I enjoyed the game and think it’s worth your time.

ℹ️ Informational
Neutral — I’m providing context or details so you can decide for yourself.

👎 Not Recommended
I genuinely didn’t enjoy the game.
I only use this when a game really fails to click for me.

There’s no score chasing, no hype padding, and no obligation to be positive.

If you’re here, it means you’re interested in this specific niche — and that’s exactly how these groups are meant to be used.

Thanks for being part of it,
– Gingy
