RE: https://gamedev.lgbt/@ClarusPlusPlus/116483383426947210
Yaaaaaas! I am so excited that Engima Heart is in Next Fest! Congrats @ClarusPlusPlus!!!
I am so looking forward to this game! Zelda II is my favorite of the 2D Zeldas, so having a game that takes that gameplay concept, and tosses on a captivating narrative with actual storytelling is incredible!
Wishlist it on Steam or Follow it on Itch.io (or both!) to stay in the loop!
Disclosure: I have been involved with the closed playtests.

AAA! In a good way – in multiple good ways! In Mayor May Knott, you rebuild the community in a spooky but cartoony game. I don’t want to add anything more (there are songs… fudge), or make reductive comparisons (it’s like it was made by Double Fine… double fudge), and the final game could turn for the worse or peter out, but the demo is great!
With the big font, good on Steam Deck, too.

There are many games inspired by Resident Evil & Silent Hill. But here we have a more unique specimen: #ParasiteMutant is going after, as you might guess from its name, #ParasiteEve. The game uses an Active Time Bar-like system where you can run around during combat and wait for a gauge to fill in order to issue attacks and other commands. It looks nice and is steamdeckable. I have slight concern over the jiggle physics, tho.

It’s impossible to say whether this type of game will be good or bad, problematic or not. For now, I know that #DreadFields isn’t an actual farming game, but it uses farming as a framing device. Seems interesting, works on your Linuxes and Decks. There’s no gamepad support again, tho.
-
#DeepSnowDelivery is a delivery/scavenger game set in a snowy, quiet apocalypse. It runs a bit poorly, and there’s no gamepad support. May become a good podcast game, tho.

E si conclude oggi il #nextfest, regalandoci moltissime demo da provare tra giochi AAA e indie di nicchia. Io personalmente mi sono concentrato su questi ultimi perché c'erano dei titoli che stavo tenendo sott'occhio da un pò e anche per scoprirne di nuovi.

Here’s a game for you.
Pick a game from Steam. Show it to contestants. The name, screenshots, videos, description – everything but the tags. Then, let them write their own list of tags and compare it to the original to see who comes closest.

Late #SteamNextFest recommendation for #AlabasterDawn A gorgeous #PixelArt #ActionRPG (but like, more in a #Zelda vein) from the makers of the excellent #CrossCode. Fun combat, fun puzzles, story seems good, but it's hard to tell from the demo. Also, the demo is a ridiculous 98% positive with 1,561 reviews.

I tried this #nextfest #demo, then it was past midnight, either demo is very good or they are using the code to steal time somehow. Anyway I'm going to play some more. #pcgaming

C'est le #NextFest actuellement, donc je teste quelques démos et j'ai fait un petit article sur... Un roguelike (nan sérieux, qui est surpris.e ?)
-
There are a trio of seemingly excellent #Diablo style games this #Steam #NextFest.
#DarkHaven Is an insta buy for me. It's destructible terrain brings something fresh to the genre and It also plays perfectly with a controller on the #SteamDeck
I could easily play this demo all day but I'm forcing myself to stop. 😁
#Crystalfall and #Martyr pretty much require a mouse and keyboard. Neither of them control well on the steam deck, but what little I played they look quite promising.
-
The Jenny the Witch #Steam #NextFest demo is jank!
I was so excited because It's clearly inspired by #BulletWitch on the Xbox 360 and that's one of my favorite games of all time.
This game ain't it though. LOL. It's heart is in the right place but its controls are not. If they can get the controls and the character rotation sorted this could end up being a solid title but it's not quite there yet.
-
The #Steam #NextFest demo of Little Nemo and the Guardians of Slumberland Is a nice little platformer.
It's a mashup of Wonder Boy in Monster world and Super Mario Brothers 2.
It's definitely a charming game. Cute graphics and nice music coupled with tried and true platforming gameplay.
It's enjoyable but with so many other games fighting for my time, I don't know that this one demands a playthrough.
-
The #Steam #NextFest demo of Denshattack is awesome!
With its vibrant color palette, catchy music and stylish graphics. It really reminds me of something that would have been out on the Dreamcast or arcades of the era.
Unfortunately, it's one of those games that has so many controls that I just cannot get to grips with it. I find this becoming more of an issue for me as the years progress.

Steam is flooded with demos for #NextFest so there’s a bit of a slow week. Still, we have some great #indiegame recommendations this week.

Just finished the #Replaced #NextFest demo.
This game is my jam! HD2D cyberpunk atmosphere. Awesome soundtrack and some of the most satisfying combat I have played in a long time.
This is definitely going to be a purchase for my #steamdeck.
-
After playing the #NextFest demo of the #PanzerDragoon Zwei remake I am actually somewhat relieved.
It's decent. Not great. But decent.
I suppose that's as good as I could have hoped.

#NextFest Video: #BeyondWords - This word game that's mixed with roguelike elements that feel reminiscent of the excellent Balatro make it feel quite promising... and addicting! #IndieGames

#SteamNextFest recommendation
#Dverghold is an old school #Wizardry game that finds unique gameplay from friction. Like, it takes a consumable resource to look at your map, so you devote a lot more energy to learning your surroundings. Or... monsters respawn when you leave the dungeon, but loot doesn't... so you try to stretch your runs out. And a party member might permadie, forcing you to try a new lineup.
