I'm excited for a few of these games but im not sure I have the time to download the demos and play them. Might be able to get one or two over the weekend I guess.

One Lonely Outpost looks like it could be a cool futuristic stardew valley with a colony management sim thrown on it.

Moonstone Island looks like another good take on SDV. (I like farming games...)

Jumplight Odyssee also looks good. Been following it since the announcement last year?

Pacific Drive also looks fun.

Hammerwatch II. First one was pretty fun coop game.

Ooh, looks like the Sea of Stars demo is up! I know it's been out for a while on Switch, but I think this is the first time it's available on PC.

Fantastic pixel-art retro-style JRPG from the makers of (and set in the distant past of) The Messenger. Big recommend on the demo.

Wizard With A Gun and El Paso Elsewhere both look great. Also - GHOST TRICK PHANTOM DETECTIVE is one of my favorite games of all time! I had it on the Nintendo DS, but unfortunately lost the cartridge' I played through the entire game start to finish without stopping because I was so immersed in the story.
