Steam Next Fest: Your Favourite Demo?

Force reboot cuz it have retro visuals (big fan of it) and Metal: Hellsinger

haven't bothered to try any by the time most of them come out i'll have forgotten about them and even then i doubt i'd pay more then bundle price for them

destroy all humans 2 demo IS LOOOOOOOOOOONGGG I liked it but its a bit glitchy saucer wise

Anger Foot - Cuz it's from Devolver Digital ofc .

Cult of the Lamb, without ANY doubt! It's an instant-buy for me and I think it will be a very popular game in the future.

You Suck at Parking, TRAIL OUT, Moonscars, Gloomwood, Midnight Fight Express and Metal: Hellsinger

From the 10 I tested, Ghost Song and Metal hellsiger are great

Cultic looks pretty promising if you like boomer shooters.

Loopmancer is promising. Can't wait to try the System Shock demo.

Wylde Flowers a very good harvest moon style game.i can´t wait to play the full game.

Terra Nil

I don't normally play demos, but I figured I would give this steam event a shot and I'm glad I did. I'm going to be trying out a lot of them.

FAVORITES

• Cult of the Lamb is my favorite so far. I wish the demo was longer.
• Moonscars is my second favorite so far.
• Nine Souls

I ENJOYED THESE

• Lego Brawls
• Cursed to Golf
• Brotato (needs a lot of balancing though)
• Bounty of One (I enjoyed it but there's only 1 level and 1 boss)
• Bonerasier Minions

OKAY

• Falling Out (SpulunkyLite, VERY Lite)
• Zapling By Gone
• Anger Foot

DIDN'T CARE FOR

• Metal Helsinger
• Grim Horde
• Beautiful Mystic Survivors

Goodbye World. I'm a fan of old-style gameplay like games on the GameBoy system. The art style and the storyline are very intriguing too.

Anger Foot.
Selaco.

Cultic.
Gunner, HEAT, PC!

I just downloaded a bunch to try them, does anyone know if we are allowed to stream the games?

Some VN recommendations:

• Dear Monster - if you like fantasy NSFW BL I guess? I'm not big on this genre but the demo was nice and I would play the full game.
• Demon Speakeasy - if you wish VA-11 Hall-A was NSFW
• GOODBYE WORLD - if you like pixel art and sad stories
• Hush Hush - Only Your Love Can Save Them - if you like Crush Crush and/or enjoy HuniePop-style games
• Vulnerable - if you are really desperate for more Danganronpa trials then this game copies them entirely. This has some sort of sci-fi disaster setting with French dialogue. It was a bit weird but it was a good demo and worth a try, it might be a hidden gem in this demo pile.

Tried a few but maybe I was too grumpy (almost certainly), but didn't find anything OMFG category out of a few tries.

Toilet Chronicles was maybe the most interesting and "upfront" game. (Genuinely, give it a try!)

Potion Permit looks maybe good, but I couldn't even got to start the game ~ 10 minutes in, and I was too tired to put up with it.
Escape Academy looked interesting, but also incredibly easy.
Extra Coin looked really interesting... but I had no energy to go on playing it

Have to check some more.

Agent 64 and Anger Foot were the best of what I tried. Mortal Sin looked interesting but played boring and the neat looking graphic style wasn't as good in motion.

heyy hey... HEY PLAY OUR DEMOS!!!! oooh nobody cares.... lets slap a steam badge on this bitch and PLAY OUR DEMOS!!!! we are no longer asking

Clearly the Old Skies demo for me. Game went to #1 wishlist spot.

Loopmancer and Signalis are the two that really tickled my interest. Midnight Fight Express seemed fun but I fear it might be repetitive as a game.

Most of the demos I have tried were really not ready for demo. Not to mention the ubiquitous asset flips and shovelware demos that apparently need to be in everything Steam...

I have only played action demos so far but I have quite a few demos in the Adventure corner I want to try.

Bigtime Stanley Parable vibes, but with more problem-solving: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1920100/Backfirewall/
So retro, much wow: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1150760/Gloomwood/
I like these kind of games so it's nice to see smth new: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1592170/Spirit_Swap_Lofi_Beats_to_Match3_To/

played something like 17 demos and those are the three standouts to me. a lot of the demos were poorly optimized and if i have to wait a while for something to load i'll get bored and alt-f4 out, soooo.

Hard West 2 demo was pretty impressive. As for my favourite genre, adventure games, I tired Stasis: Bone Totem demo (I'm a backer, so I've basically already got the game), was pleased that it's finally a classic puzzle-based point-and-click (loved both Stasis and Beautiful Desolation, but they were all about story, atmosphere and amazing visuals and barely had any puzzles in them), but the placeholder voiceovers were downright awful. Basically, I probably shouldn't play demo versions at all (I'm that fool that shouldn't see half-done work). So I stopped at that and didn't even try Old Skies demo, not to mention games I'm less interested in.
