The Steam Summer Sale has begun, and gamers have two weeks to buy up discounted titles. While you may feel the urge to head straight for the biggest video games on sale—like the Fallout series and Grand Theft Auto V—you should also take the time to peruse the assortment of smaller indie games available for cheap.

Three particularly noteworthy indie video games currently on sale are Firewatch, the 2016 debut game of studio Campo Santo, Night in the Woods, a 2017 game made by Infinite Fall, and The Beginner’s Guide, a game by Davey Wreden, the creator of indie hit The Stanley Parable. All three games have strong novelistic qualities—they are dialogue-heavy, leaning on narrative and character development over more traditional gaming mechanics—and are a great introduction to independent, story-centric games, if you’re looking for something more than just jumping off platforms or shooting weapons.
