Hey! I just played the play test for Soulchain and was consistently blown away by its puzzle design and vibes. Really REALLY excited for this one now.

Here's what I had to say about @tophatstudios.bsky.social published Well Dweller during next fest. With a release this month I'm hyped as hell

This demo was incredible. I will be grabbing this day 0. September is a crowded month but please make time for this one

September has begun, and with that here's the games I played over the past two months! Some really great entries in here. This has already been a good year for games, and now we reach the "avoid GTA" release window!

Star Wars Zero Company is pretty fun. My friends and I are playing the same character entirely differently. I'm really having a blast. Fun clip in the replies (Character spoilers for up to cycle 25)

You gotta play this game. I might replay it through on hard mode since I just loved it so much. Just a really great 8-ish hour rog It has heart, jokes, great characters and some just really phenomenal music. Give it a shot!!

Even if you're unsure, you owe it to yourself to try demos out. YOU might miss out on something magical because you skipped over a demo. I recently played the demo for Polly's Puzzle Box, another game I was initially unsure of, and I once again fell in love. Try more demos, it can only help 🎉

By the way, I think everyone should try weird demos, even if they think they might not like it. EMUUROM is certainly in the running for the best game I've played this year and I almost completely skipped over it due to some word of mouth i heard and not "getting" it from the trailer.

I also went back and played Dash N Cry and it was also good. You can see the bones of BURSTING and how they evolved on it. I do wish BURSTING kept the unique movement limitations but I think the game is difficult enough to warrant less limitations. I really enjoyed these.

Now having beaten the full game (and a majority of the post game content) this really lived up to my hype. I was worried that the demo showed too much since the "main game" content is a little light, but the breath of challenge levels easily made up for it. A must play for precision platformer fans

Here's another upcoming indie game I'm extremely looking forward to, the demo impressed me so much I went out and bought the developer's previous game Crypt Custodian. Go play this right now, it's a Metroidvania with some positively gorgeous and grim art.

Seriously, you owe it to yourself if you are a fan of any metroidbrania. This genre is easily my favorite and getting a high-quality game like this needs to be celebrated. I'm always looking for games in this space and this one hits JUST right. Now, if you need me, I'm going back in to play more.

I've been playing EMUUROM for the past week and it has blown me away. it has its hooks in me, and I can't stop thinking about it, I'm nearing 20 hours and I there's still so much more to see and do. if you like metroidbranias and you're hungering for more, this is a MUST BUY. I can't get enough.
End screen for EMUUROM, end time 19h 33minutes

Well Dweller surprised me. I went in expecting something familiar but it's unique story presentation immediately hooked me. Then I got to playing it and the game feels magnificent. This games first mobility tool makes me excited to see what other novel tools they add. I highly recommend the demo.

Kind of cheating since it's from last Nextfest, but: @colorgrave.bsky.social's "CC: Dawnthief" blew me away. I was already a fan of theirs and I still left surprised and excited. Fast paced, fluid, and visually great, music is also incredible Try out the demo and give it a wishlist. I can't WAIT
