Steam Game Festival - free demos of upcoming RPGs from June 16th to 22nd

[Fedora Master]

All Steam sales after they introduced refunds are shit.

It's not a sale, this a list of games that will have free demos from June 16 to 22.

That's even worse then.

Nice, shame Game 898980 isn't on sale though, that's the best game in the series.

It's free though.

How much do the demos usually cost? What happens after the 22nd?

The demos go away (although I guess the devs can leave them up if they really want to). The idea is it's a sample of a work in progress, similar to a press preview build at E3 but for everybody.

Is there a time limit on how long you can play the demos (say, Solasta and The Fellowship Saga )? Or once it's installed you can play them at any time?

some of my demos got revokes, through it was Virgil demo at Valentine's day.

 

[AliceAlcina]

Based on what I see Pumpkin Jack demo got major overhaul... this would be worthwhile to check out.

 

[Rahdulan]

They're not all related to Steam Game Festival and I already played a couple.

Whatever.

 

[LESS T_T]

I suppose some are DRM-free too, so you can copy the files elsewhere and play as you like.

 

[Rafidur]

Anything good?
I liked:
- Fae Tactics: unpolished TRPG, potential
- Naheulbeuk: XCOM 2 clone with better mechanics
- Ultrakill: Doom 2016 but ugly

 

[AliceAlcina]

Wytchwood - adventure meets crafting, creeepy
The Wild at Heart - something creature collecting x eye candy visuals, ridiculous protagonist name
Pumpkin Jack - I think demo is reworked, but can't be absolutely sure... music and sfx are absolute loud shit, great thing if you have quality speakers and tuned down the volume
Fabled Lands - Solasta meets indie, meh, hard
Ary and the Secret of seasons - good stuff, but totally silly facial expression and story

 

[AliceAlcina]

Also, Calico looks great in game... better than those insulting trailers at Guerilla

I love how now it's considered an event when developers deign to give people a demo. This should still be common like it was years ago. The list of games is massive and there's a ton I think I'd want to demo but it's only up for a week (not even)? Moronic. The demos should be permanent. You'd think with how obscure a lot of these titles are and how hard it is to get noticed on Steam these days you'd want to have a demo available to encourage sales.

Disjunction and Iron Oath have potential

Company of Crime felt promising.

The Feud not so much.

 

[Lacrymas]

What's the difference between the Zoria free prologue and demo? Same question for Black Book, I guess.

 

[Hellion]

Anyone played GROUNDED yet?

 

[Yosharian]

It is turn-based tower defense.
