Today is your fortunate day if you’re craving demos, as Valve’s triannual Steam Next Fest event has returned, boasting “hundreds” of demos spanning its seven-day duration.
Valve’s latest Steam Next Fest is currently underway and will continue until Monday, February 12th. This grants you approximately 160 hours to explore the vast array of offerings, although tackling everything on offer within this timeframe might seem like an insurmountable task.
Nevertheless, in a world where individuals have managed to complete Dark Souls 3 using a banana, anything seems possible.
As per tradition, Valve has attempted to alleviate the Herculean challenge by organizing the playable demos into easily navigable categories on its Steam Next Fest landing page. Additionally, visitors can indulge in hours of developer livestreams throughout the week, adding to the already overflowing schedule.
Among the intriguing additions this time are demos for highly anticipated titles such as the visually stunning stop-motion-esque adventure Harold Halibut, the construction-centric Summerhouse – hailing from one of the developers behind Eurogamer favorite Islanders – and Synergy, a sci-fi city builder featuring striking Moebius-inspired art.
