Steam Next Fest is a week-long celebration featuring hundreds of FREE playable demos as well as developer livestreams and chats. Players try out upcoming games on Steam pre-release, developers gather feedback and build an audience ahead of their Steam launch, everyone wins!
I always enjoy checking out the demos from these events. Has anyone else tried any yet? Would love to hear about any fun demos you’ve found.
I gave Sea of Stars a try. It’s from the developers of The Messenger. I’m really liking what I played so far. After Chained Echoes, I think this will be my next big hit for retro jrpg. The pixel art is gorgeous and the music is really good so far. I’m not big on timed attack in turn-based game, but I suspect that I’ll get over that quickly.
Thanks for the heads-up, I’ve had this one on my wishlist for a while! Yasunori Mitsuda is involved with the soundtrack from what I’ve read, so there’s lots of potential.

Oh wow! It has the feel of Golden Sun. Totally adding it to the list.
I played the demo for this on the switch and it was great! The changes they made to combat make it so good imo.
