The Steam Next Fest
February 2023 is now live, offering seven days of demos, livestreams, demos,
sales, demos, and demos. As mentioned, many of these demos will only be
available for the duration of the fest, so you'll have to budget your time
accordingly. Feel free to mail us about any demos you think are worth sharing
with everyone else. To start, here's a first roundup of some we heard about
through the developers or publishers:
- Afterimage (Windows). "Reveal the hidden secrets of a fantasy land in Afterimage! Explore the magnificent landscapes and ruins of an ancient metropolis, meeting mysterious colossal beings and adorable roaming spirits along the way. The thrilling adventure of this marvelous 2D hand-drawn world awaits you!" Here's a trailer.

As the ashter (Slavic sorcerer) who is gifted with the ability to travel in time, you come to a mysterious village, but you cannot find anyone there, at least not as you expected." Here's a trailer.
- Fabledom (Windows). "Once upon a Village.. Set in a wholesome fairytale world, Fabledom is the ideal laid back City builder. Enjoy the growth of your settlement, trade and use diplomacy to ally or challenge your neighbors, and most importantly, find yourself a prince or princess and live happily ever after!"

Visit the new beach coast with the largest, biggest ship graveyard in the world, dismantle huge ship parts and collect tons of precious steel. Roll up your sleeves, it's time to get back to the business."
- Teslagrad 2 (Windows). "Lumina, a young Teslamancer, finds herself stranded after her airship crash lands in Wyrmheim, a remote and treacherous land to the North.

King of the Castle seems like a pretty fascinating game, but it doesn't seem to have any matchmaking and requires that you have a fairly sizable group of friends to really play which seems like they're shooting themselves in the foot.
Desynced has a great demo. Building with a somewhat optional unit programming capability.

I tried I am Future and, meh, it didn't really grab me. Too much "go build all this stuff" right out of the gate and then "LOL, nope. You need better tools." The hunger mechanic was a bit punishing, too, for just starting out.
On to Fabledom now.
