BOOMEROAD and NOTTOLOT are both free to keep and are getting removed from Steam at the end of the month.
I’ve only played BOOMEROAD and it’s fun — throw boomerangs to create paths.
It’s more of a tech demo than a full-fledged game, but from what I remember when these released, they’re deliberately small games made by Bandai Namco teams as a way of getting devs used to the engine and development tools (I can’t find a source on this though, so take it with a grain of salt).
Interestingly enough, DORONKO WANKO, a single player puppy Splatoon-like, isn’t getting removed, despite it being released in the same batch as the other two. Perhaps because it became enough of a sleeper hit that it was worth it for them to release paid cosmetic DLC?
If you’re in Japan, there are also four other games getting delisted from that region. From what I’ve read, there’s no way to get or play these on non-Japanese Steam accounts.
Spike Chunsoft has a hefty Steam sale through March 19. This is the group that makes Danganronpa and Stein's Gate. Mostly VNs of varying levels of interactivity.
All prices in USD
Plus a bunch more; these are just the titles I'm familiar with and/or probably most well-known.
Oh, also Mindustry! It's a TD/RTS game. Super fun either solo or co-op.
70% off to US$2.99 through March 16.
Also free from their github if you have a Steam aversion. But still worth buying even at $10
