Here are a few early picks
Head on over toValve’s event pagefor every game taking part. So, so many games are there. Even with the incomplete list available before launch, a few games with demos caught my eye.
Pendragon, theArthurian turn-based strategy RPGfrom Inkle, the makers of80 DaysandHeaven’s Vault. Windjammers 2, the sequel to a cult favourite Neo Geofrisbee battle game. Genesis Noir, thesurreal metaphysical adventure gameabout saving your love from the Big Bang of a god’s gunshot.Fights In Tight Spaces, theturn-based tactical deckbuilding brawlerabout fights with slick action movie style. Starmancer, thestrat-o-simplaying as an space station’s AI overlord who can care for their humans or live out grand ambitions of domination. The Iron Oath, theturn-based tactical RPGabout a merc company across decades and centuries. Monster Crown, thePokémon-ish throwback RPG. That’s only a handful of the games getting demos.

You can see some of the devchats, Q&As, and other bits comingon this Steam page, which frustratingly glitches a whole lot for me as I scroll. Not every game hosting an event will have a demo, mind. Most of these demos will vanish after the Festival ends so play them while you can.
Valve’s second Steam Game Festival follows onein Marcharound the time GDC was supposed to happen.
