October’s Steam Next Fest ends on Monday, October 26, at 10 a.m. Pacific (1 p.m. Eastern), and our inbox kept filling up with invitations throughout the festival. We have already published three lists and several stories with the highlights, but plenty of good games were left out. So we went the other way: here are all 41 games with a festival demo that studios and publishers sent us and that had not yet appeared on SavePoint.
There is a bit of everything: bareknuckle boxing, samurai who duel at blackjack, a submarine for six panicking friends, a board game café and even a sim starring a real Golden Retriever. Each game has a short summary, the basics and the Steam widget to grab the demo. At the end, you will find links to everything we have already covered from the festival.
