Looking for good indie RPGs (preferably horror themed but not a requirement) during this Steam Sale

PC

I ask mainly because I'm in the early stages of developing my own Indie RPG, and I'm looking for inspiration on how to proceed.

Preferences:

Game is preferably horror-themed, but not a requirement.

Good monster designs

A unique combat system or good teambuilding/strategy

I'm not really looking for anything super "medieval fantasy" without a major twist on that formula because i've got enough regular JRPGs to scratch that itch for decades

Preferably no roguelites as well (I've played a million of those)

I'm fine with games that aren't out yet, given they look interesting enough.

INDIE RPGS I'VE PLAYED AND ENJOYED:

Undertale

Deltarune

Look Outside

Library of Ruina

Brutal Orchestra

INDIE RPGS I'M PLAYING:

Lisa The Painful

Super Lesbian Animal RPG

Fear and Hunger

INDIE RPGS I HAVE MY EYE ON:

Hylics

Off

Omori

Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass

Coromon

Darkest Dungeon

Chained Echoes

Chrono Ark

Casette Beasts

[Tragic Trope] A villain loses their memory and becomes good... only to gain it back and become evil again

Big Mom (One Piece)

Formerly a mass murderer and tyrant. For a brief period in the Wano arc, after severe head trauma she awakes without any of her memories and becomes a sweet old lady... only to later get MORE head trauma and regain her memories, returning to being evil.

Sosei Akabane (Ranger Reject)

Formerly the Homelander of Ranger Reject. After barely surviving an explosion, he wakes up without his memories in the slums and became a kind and pacifistic man, but when he eventually regains his memories he returns to being a narcissist, now angry at the rest of the Dragon Rangers for abandoning and replacing him.

Regular guy with No ulterior motives

Tohru Adachi - Persona 4

He's just a regular assistant police detective working under your dad. He's a little silly, but he's working hard to uncover the disappearances happening in Inaba!

Roland - Library of Ruina

He's just an ordinary, washed up grade 9 fixer who found himself in the library by chance. Really, there's nothing more to him.

[Loved Trope] you could genderswap anyone and nothing/very little would change about the story

Library of Ruina
Gender essentially never comes up in the series, and character genders feel like they were decided after the characters were written. The gender of the character never effects how the characters are written.

Limbus Company
Same writer, same company, same universe, and same writing philosophy as Library of Ruina.

the Kirby series
I'm sure in the long list of games there might be the rare example or two of things changing, but I can't think of anything that'd change if I genderswapped any of the characters.
