Chinese indie games got more interesting around 蜡烛人 Candleman in 2017. Personally I didn't enjoy that game, a bit too much trial and error, but it is a "real" platform game. I have been trying various other ones to try find something really creative and unique, and the best one I have found is called Another Adventure from ThankCreate Studio. This one is neat, a bit of a commentary on high tech/programmer/996 lifestyle. Another game I liked was 雨纪 Flood of Light. It is a fairly simple puzzle game, very low stress and easy, with a bit of sad anime style story. There was a very relaxing fish sim too called 鲤 Koi. I am a bit out of the loop, I think it's hard to keep up with all the latest indie games if you are not following local media, but it definitely feels like last 3-4 years there is a small and growing scene. Some games even translated in English and got some press in western media too, like Tales of the Neon Sea. Of course, the vast majority of games are still pay to win, anime style clickers, not really my thing at all.
