Let's Play Some Demos! - Part 26
0Welcome to Part 26 of the • Let's Play Some Demos! | LPSD series!
For those who are new, I aim to introduce gamers to, usually, Indie games and to provide commentary and feedback on the games for educational purposes! In addition, with how saturated Steam is, let's get these Indie games some attention, shall we (and the occasional AAA game I think isn't getting enough attention)?
For this episode, I used some of the demos I had grabbed from the Myths & Legends & Women's Day Sale Steam Events!
RULES!
Typically, there are 4 demos. Each demo gets 30 minutes, not including the adjustment of settings and character creation. I might up it to 5 and/or play a great game for longer if there are technical issues. Or a demo finishes before the timer goes off.
And NO AI's spit, aka. plagiarism laundering.
Today, I played 5 demos for your enjoyment:
1. Atlas Wept - Available: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1699260/Atlas_Wept | https://kbojisoft.itch.io/atlas-wept-demo
A Humanist retro-style RPG game about sincerity and empathy, featuring friendly robot dogs and evil smiley faces.
2. LEILA - Available: Apr 7, 2025: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2576910/LEILA_Demo
A story-driven experience with puzzles about a middle-aged woman trying to make peace with herself. Join her in this dive to her mind and travel through memories and traumas. The unique 2d art style, meticulous sound design and hand-drawn animations bring her to life on this point&click...
3. Winter Burrow - Planned Release Date: 2025: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3008740/Winter_Burrow
Winter Burrow is a cozy woodland survival game about a mouse returning home to restore their childhood burrow. Explore, gather resources, craft, knit warm sweaters, bake pies and meet the locals.
4. Yes, Your Grace: Snowfall - Planned Release Date: To be announced: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1373090/Yes_Your_Grace_Snowfall
Rule your crumbling kingdom as you try to satisfy the petty needs of your people in this cinematic kingdom management RPG. Balance your resources, collect taxes, hire agents and make difficult decisions to see your kingdom prosper or fail.
5. When The Past Was Around - Available: To be announced: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1164050/When_The_Past_Was_Around | https://mojiken.itch.io/when-the-past-was-around
When the Past was Around is an adventure point-and-click puzzle game about love, moving on, letting go, and the joy and pain of everything in between.
Why 5? Because *LEILA*'s lack of guidance made me rage quit, and *Yes, Your Grace: Snowfall*'s demo was no longer available. Not a smart business move.
Overall, I want Winter Burrow and When The Past Was Around, and they are on my wishlist.
For anyone interested in a mini-review, it will be available on the Opinions & Truth | O&T blog later today or this week, here: https://wp.me/p6f7OZ-ck8
