A good example of low-fi "cheap" art fitting well in the overall aesthetic would be Papers Please (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papers,_Please)
That was also a one man production with outsourced art.
What would be examples of indie games that are "pretty" but have terrible gameplay?
Given the choice I'd opt for Jeff's games over something pretty and unplayable.
IMO Papers Please falls in that category. It has pretty graphics but almost no gameplay. Definitely nothing close to Jeff's games. It's a hit because it captivates you with art and dystopia, but in my book, definitely has no real gameplay that I can bare for more than 10 minutes.
