Companies That Take Chances

I've recently picked up Riviera, Yggdras Union, Knights in the Nightmare, Thousand Arms, and the first Devil Summoner to add to my growing collection of Atlus games and you know what? I LOVE ATLUS! I love the company because they take chances, they release games with unusual stories, play mechanics, and characters and these games are often overlooked by people. Why? I don't know, maybe it's the theological stuff and the darker tone of the Shin Megami Tensei series (I'm being asked to become king of the Bels so I can fight and defeat God to make humankind "free" in Devil Survivor) or perhaps it's too "Japanese" for some. What other companies (developers, producers, whatever) out there take chances and release some niche stuff you guys really love? Atlus, Aksys, Nippon Ichi, Working Designs... those are a few I really dig (or Dug in the case of WD...).
