This Next Fest is the best I've seen yet! List any cool game demos or trailers here.

My standouts:

Berserk Boy - Mega-Man trope game that looks to have great platforming and run + gun gameplay and pixel art.
Death of the Reprobate - Midieval art collage point and click game.
Bride Into the Cave - Horror puzzle game about a minority girl in ancient China trying to save herself, and a myth about an cave that houses a deity who names a girl and her soul disappears from the the mortal realm. The trailer music was incredible and the art was also stunning.
Hauntii - Monochromatic (or sometimes a few shades of the same color) game in which you play a ghost and you possess various objects and animals to make progress. Casual / Adventure
Chasing the Unseen - Shadow of the colossus type game where you climb impossibly massive animals like snakes and Octopi in a surreal world.
Ultros - Psychedelic Metroidvania with an unbelievable 2d art style where you "wake up stranded on The Sarcophagus, a Cosmic uterus holding an ancient demonic being.

I’m assuming none of y’all have mentioned homeworld 3 simply because it’s obvious….

I'm more of an indie single player person, but it does look absolutely sick. The only RTS I've played are SC2 and Brood War.

Bits & Bops - If you told me this was a preview of Nintendo's new Rhythm Heaven game, I'd absolutely believe you. It's a bit less weird, a bit more cute and charming.

Nice, that's going on the wish list. Very cute animations.

Last Next Fest, I tried the demo to Rhythm Quest and I thought it was really fun. The demo is apparently up again now, so check it out.

Apparently the dev is working on a level editor now too.
