Steam Next Fest returns this month for a week-long celebration showcasing demos of recent and upcoming games. Polygon's staff has compiled a list of favorite demos, emphasizing a diverse mix of creative new titles. Highlights include a whimsical "walking simulator" where players navigate a Mediterranean city as a pair of shoes, a semi-autobiographical slice-of-life game set during Ecuador's 2002 FIFA World Cup soccer excitement, and a collaborative dungeon-crawling experience meant to capture MMO dynamics without the online component. This event presents a chance for gamers to try engaging demos from imaginative developers.
This quirky "walking simulator" puts the player in the role of a literal pair of shoes! Explore a vibrant Mediterranean coastal city as you put one foot in front of the other, kicking cans, stomping on leaves, and overcoming an array of environmental challenges and puzzles.
Developed by programmer Julián Cordero and artist-musician Sebastian Valbuena, Despelote is a first-person slice-of-life game. Set in Quito amid the soccer craze sparked by Ecuador's qualification for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, the game centers on 8-year-old Julián as he explores and embraces the world in this semi-autobiographical adventure.
Fellowship is what happens when you tear MMO dungeons out of an MMO and make a whole game about them. Everyone has a role, like healing, tanking, or damage dealing, and works together to blaze through a dungeon.
