Can anyone recommend any modern indie analogues to #Wolfenstein? I'd just gotten into The New Colossus and had to stop because of the new BDS boycott on Microsoft published games. Itching to shoot Nazis still, but I don't really want to go back to Wolf3d 1992 flavor because I'm spoiled by modern features like the lean button. Lo-fi graphics are fine, though!

Apropos of nothing, you should play "In Other Waters" if you haven't already. It's an absolutely fantastic story-based game, and is a fantastic example of how to create a vibrant world in the player's mind with only minimal graphics. Plus, it has space lesbians.
P.S.: I happened to check its listing on Steam, and it's currently 75% off until February 19th. Considering that I'm still thinking about it years after I played it, less than $4 is more than a reasonable price

It's almost been a year since Splatter came out and I need to talk about it
It's a violent, wet and slippery score shooter in a parody of the Metaverse. You were algorithmically selected as the best person to enter this hellscape that generates revenue for the four administrators;
- "Political correctness ruined my consumerism"
- NFT Investment Truther
- Straight up new age cult leader
- [???] Has other plans in mind for you and The Program
Across 16 levels you play through unique arenas of their creation, they talk to you (with subtitles) as they try to coax you into being their ideal candidate. You can run, jump, dodge slide, and try to survive hordes that increase in difficulty using the various weapons given to you. Meanwhile you're listening to this experimental and dynamic soundtrack that I have to say deserves the spotlight among the greats alongside what Toby Fox does for his fight scenes and Mick Gordon did for Doom's atmosphere.
Also, I really liked that it has enemy health and damage sliders before each level so I could tailor it to any difficulties I was having.
Here's the trigger warnings as listed on the Steam page: Flashing lights, visual glitches/distortion, explicit language. It also contains references to self harm, drug use, bigotry, sexual assault, kidnapping, and cult indoctrination.
Here's the launch trailer, and here's the Steam page. Check out the demo and see if it's for you.
Go forth and SPLATTER!!!
