The gunbrella itself is a slick platforming tool, letting you zipline, glide and dash through the brown smudge of a world. All is not what it seems and there’s an uneasy feeling in the air, but none of the characters are willing to address it, not to a stranger like you anyway. The demo follows the nameless gruff protagonist - the wielder of the gunbrella - as they investigate a local cult who have kidnapped the mayor and a local lass. Rachel: I played the Gunbrella demo at PAX West and couldn’t wait to get my hands on it again as I immediately fell in love with its slick, umbrella parkour platforming and the scrappy, gritty feel of the world. That's why we've put together this list, so please enjoy this cool selection of games the RPS Treehouse has been playing and loving so far - and if you spot any other neat demos we haven't covered here, then please do let us know in the comments below. There are no doubt loads more - and certainly too many to name here - but don't let that choice paralysis get to you. I should also point out that some of the games we wrote about last week also have Next Fest demos you can try right now, too - games like Flat Eye, the new narrative management game from the Night Call devs, Cassette Beasts, a monster-catching RPG where you become and fuse with its titular beasts, and Homicidal All-Stars, the new tactics game from a bunch of former Hard West devs. This month's Next Fest runs from today, October 3rd, until next Monday, October 10th, so keep an eye out later this week for more Next Fest-shaped goodness. You can view the whole of October's Steam Next Fest right here if you'd rather just dive in headfirst, but below you'll find some hand-picked highlights we've been enjoying ahead of time - including a new Return Of The Obra Dinn-alike, a first-person skeleton shooter, an underwater citybuilders and a platformer where your gun is also an umbrella.Īs usual, we've only had access to a small sliver of what's available to play during October's Next Fest, so we'll be following up this list of initial recommendations with more of our personal highlights in the days to come.
In case September didn't add enough new indie games to your burgeoning Steam wishlists, Valve are back today with another edition of their demo-packed Steam Next Fest, and we've been playing some of its many, many, many demos to help give you a few pointers on where to start.
