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.

    Jumplight Odyssey is GREAT. It’s an '80’s stylized cartoon where you’re the last of your people attempting to flee a villain that destroyed your homeworld. It reminds me of Two Point Hospital, but in space. It has a LOT of '80’s styles. Like the audio, when you speed up the game it has the fast forward sound from a VCR. I’m absolutely LOVING this.

    It also has a map that reminds me of FTL where you jump from system to system, it looks like in order to collect resources. You assign folks to a spacecraft and send them out on missions. I’m also getting very strong Evil Genius vibes. WOW this is great!

    Edit: Added in about the FTL jumps and Evil Genius.
