Solo-Developed Games With a Distinctive Point of View

Games whose original core development was led primarily by one person, chosen for a recognisable creative idea rather than the romance of working alone. Music, art, writing, voices, business support and later ports can involve important collaborators, named where useful below. The focus is the original project, not a claim that every current version or update is solo-made. Begin with A Short Hike for a welcoming small world, Obra Dinn for deduction, or Downwell for a tightly focused action system; the later choices range into demanding puzzles and unsettling horror.
