💎 Hidden Gems

Your friends haven't heard of these.

The App Store and Google Play surface the same games to everyone. The algorithm rewards spending, not quality. Hidden gems are the games that got buried — small studios, weird concepts, or just bad timing at launch. They're in here because players who found them loved them, not because a marketing budget pushed them to the top of the charts.
