Next Fest 2023

Demo's played for the Steam Next Fest

3 games Not on Backloggd (Godfist rated 1st, other games at like last place)
Godfist - A first person roguelike where you punch enemies. It plays a lot like a platform fighter because health is just percentages and you have to knock enemies off the floor you're on. You're goal to PUNCH GOD in the face, so its automatically dope as fuck.

Haunted: Attack of the Dead Men- DOOM but in WW1 trenches, not as good

Ray & Stoic Gronk- I got stuck the very beginning, no idea what to do.
This shit rocked hard. Love frolicking around as a small German boy in this super folklore enviroment. There are cool little gnomes. I also kept quoting the video of the German boy playing Fortnite and drinking Cola
So this game is FUCKING CRAZY. One of the most bizarre and sensation overload i've played. AND IT HAS MUSIC BY DAVID WISE THATS ALSO WONKY. Too bad its one of those Streamer Hard games, but whatever.
I am down for this story of misfits, i bet it will be raw. The gameplay was a little slow and weird, hope it gets better.
Played to satisfy my curiosity of porn games with 3D renders. Kind of surprised how much story shit was going on, even if it was just aping on Harry Potter a lot. Love the CG renders of backgrounds and shit.
I love how the N64 looks, but I think this falls into the pit of me hating how the N64 feels.
Remeber seeing the first trailer and thinking this was really cool. Now that I've actually played it, it is pretty cool. Didn't know it was like procedural generated cities and mysteries. Now I don't know how much that effects the Noir stuff, but its kind of cool to have that. I, however, don't actually like doing real mystery solving like this so not really for me.
Reminded me of Signalis in that it had a super dope art style, but I didn't care much for the gameplay.
This game is also fucking crazy. I feel like they are speaking in a made up language (im sorry if its a real language) and NPC's always just LOUDLY explode into a white mist whenever you are done speaking to them.
Cool snowboarding, but I'd rather just play SSX
Its neat that this text adventure uses a little AI to make it more accessible than old text adventures, but its still pretty strict, so I would rather play AI Dungeon instead.
Way more clunky and low budget than I thought it would be.
