I love how creative the demo is, playing with text, color, and perspective in unexpected ways.
A highlight of the demo is when protagonist No Man is interviewing a suspect for a case.
By the end of the demo, youll feel like a sliding puzzle master.
Then, you might find the word TLAK and that will grant youtwocreatures to blackentwosquares.
It’s more subtle, like the uncomfortable feeling of putting your shoe on the wrong foot.
It’s satire that pokes fun at the shallowness of reality TV, while also being fun and frantic.
It’s a beasty demo, too, clocking in at just under 2 hours.
Dungeons of Hinterberg is exactly that, an action-adventure set in the picturesque landscape of the Austrian Alps.
This demo is absolutely packed with activities.
This demo packs a punch and is not to be missed.
Time to switch out that business briefcase for a helmet and spandex, I’m thinking.
Demonschool’s turn-based combat is full of fun and flair.
You got your classic action points, party combos, buffs and debuffs, but everything feels so glossy.
The sequel to The Case of the Golden Idol has a demo, and its utterly fantastic.
Who knew you could improve upon perfection?
Essentially, Rise of the Golden Idol is The Case of the Golden Idol, but better.
Think along the lines ofSummerhouse, but with lush natural landscapes instead of just the tinyhomes.
Create a pathway on a rocky hill, and little stone steps will appear.
This demo is a wonderful little thing, perfect for cottagecore girlies and fans of relaxing sandbox builders.
The demo begins at the games prolog, kicking things off with a shocking discovery.
If I had to make one change, it would be for its respawn time to be much quicker.
Don’t let that fool you: Dustborn is a sci-fi game with a lot of variety.
You know, the usual roadtrip antics.
