15 Hidden Gems Launching on Steam This Week (8th–14th of September)

With hundreds of games launching on Steam every week, we like to take a look at some of the ones that might be going under the radar, highlighting potential hidden gems. The industry's advertisement is incredibly difficult, so it's important that we're also giving the limelight to some of the developers that need it the most!

For our Hidden Gems entry of the week, we have a single criterion: any game with fewer than 1,000 Followers that we think you might enjoy. We're expecting all of these 15 games to launch next week, but there might be some last-minute delays!
