Screenshot Saturday Mondays: Flushing the urinal and kiting the rat ball

Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter's #screenshotsaturday tag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. We're a bit short this week because of the rolling technical disaster that is modern Twitter, but I've still enjoyed ogling everything from a must-have immersive sim feature and a very unpleasant nighttime drive to lovely simulated water and strange spaceship shenanigans. Check out all these attractive and interesting indie games!
Considering that Deep State (coming to Steam) boasts that it "combines elements of the immersive sim genre with classic 90s FPS action", this feature should be considered mandatory:
