New Steam Demo Event Lets Players Try 37 Games
A new Steam demo event started today, and it will allow users to try more than 30 games they might not have otherwise! Running through May 8th, LudoNarraCon is an event that centers primarily on "narrative games." In addition to demos, Steam users can look forward to streams, sales, and panels that fit the theme. It's an interesting concept, and it just might get users to try a game they might not have looked into otherwise. The following list includes all of the games that will have demos during the event:
- Goodbye Volcano High
- The Palace on the Hill Prologue
- Figment 2: Creed Valley
- I Did Not Buy This Ticket
- The Star Named EOS
- The Pale Beyond
- The Invincible
- Wrestling With Emotions: New Kid on the Block
- Underground Blossom
- Death Trick: Double Blind
- ghostpia Season One
- Astronaut: The Best
- Loco Motive
- Dead Pets Unleashed
- Roadwarden
- Mask of the Rose
- The Case of the Golden Idol
- Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between
- Midautumn
- Paper Ghost Stories: Third Eye Open
- Cryptmaster
- Kitsune: The Journey of Adashino
- Community Hub
- Harmony
- Sucker for Love: Date to Die For
- NORCO

- Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly
- Do Not Feed the Monkeys 2099
- Fall of Porcupine
- Times & Galaxy
- Tamarindos Freaking Dinner
- Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical
- Slay the Princess
- Demonschool
- Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island
There are some really interesting options here, some of which are more recent releases! Coffee Talk Episode 2 actually just released last month, and some of the other games haven't even come out yet. Given the sheer number of games that are available on the Steam platform, it's always nice to see events like these, because they put a spotlight on indie games that might otherwise fly under the radar.
As the name implies, narrative games are titles that put a greater emphasis on story, and often let the player make decisions that have a major impact. For example, Wrestling With Emotions is a dating sim where players can create their own wrestler while trying to find love. Players looking for something a bit more serious can check out The Invincible, a dark sci-fi game where players must make difficult decisions as they try to rescue a missing crew. No matter what players are looking for, it seems like a safe bet they'll find something to enjoy!
