Train Reaction, it's like if Zachtronics made a game about train signalling.

The cairn demo was really fun, I highly recommend it

Its probably the one I'm looking forward to the most, I wonder how it compares to Jusant

More challenging climbing, similar vibe. Loved the demo

I tried haste, it has a great concept but the demo didnt show how far it can be taken. Had fun runnin' though, feels like a better 3d sonic. Idk if its featured in the steam next, just wanted to share :)

Haste is really fun. There's a first person mod (in the Steam Workshop, I think) that makes it better imo

Yeah I tried Haste last next fest before it's release too...just judging off the demo, it's a good idea but not my kind of game. The roguelike mechanics don't really add that much to the whole game, you're still going to be doing practically the same thing.

But it was fun enough, just not enough to get me to buy it.

Already played Cairn demo a while ago but it's the one game I'm probably looking forward to the most right now.

Cave Diver looks like it could have the atmosphere and gameplay of something really fun if they can figure out the locomotion just a little bit better.
I like the idea of filling up a cave with your previous corpses that help remind you of dead ends and mistakes.

Ooh. Love a Nextfest. Already downloaded iRacing Arcade, because I quite like Circuit Superstars, and also just on an initial browse, gonna check out Aussie Bogan Hero, because I love a metroidvania, and LOL.

I only played Simon the Sorcerer Origins. It's a bit short but got me in the mood of playing the originals again. I'll probably buy it when it's released.

G-Rebels was really fun, I'm eager to see it develop. Eyes of the Elderwood had cool spooky vibes, I'm looking forward to its full release

Skate story!! Really cool game

Tried a few. Some I removed for having no audio options. I get they're demos but no can do for me.

The one I played the most of was the Legend of Khiimori demo. Gotta support one of the rare good horse games. Well. Hope it's good? Pleasant. Had a translation issue, the control key was still in German so I looked at my keyboard, baffled as to what STRG was.

I look forward to the full release. I'll probably watch some videos first and see if it's optimized more though.
