I’m getting at this quite late and played way less demos than I usually do (less than 10 this time around!), but I found a few gems I have to shoutout.

DEMO: Desktop Explorer

Absolutely brilliant. Immediately compelling. Siloed puzzles. New mechanics regularly and a compelling story. I played through an hour for the demo and felt very satisfied!

DEMO: Burn-9

Some of the most stunning visuals I have every seen in videogames. Excellent soundtrack and a very unique take on gameplay. Good writing and interesting enough story (at least for a demo).

DEMO: XenoFeels

Ever wish Papers Please was horny and filled with more cat girls and shameless Sci-Fi references? Here you go! I’m wishlisting solely to see that lingerie come off.

DEMO: Red Chat Ritual – TSUMIMI TIME

A surprisingly robust demo! The conceipt is as fan-service-y as it is genuinely compelling. It’s giving Perfect Blue the game, but for a contemporary audience.
