That's the problem with edgy, experimental projects. You can't really tell if they'll succeed until a lot of work has been put into them.

just like music bands, if the group doesn't have the passion and grit to live poorly while grinding at work, the edgy, experimental stuff gets pushed aside because the market for it is just inherently smaller than say, the next Final Fantasy remake or Persona.

But with the internet and social media, the indie scene is the place to be for edgy, artistic, unique games right now as well, so in a way, the scene is migrating "underground".
