The Steam Game Festival: Summer Edition has kicked off and there are more than 900 free demos to try. Demos are available for various indie games through the Steam Game Festival: Summer Edition which is going now through 22June.
Like the previous Steam Game Festivals, it offers free demos to Steam users. You can also watch games being played, developer talks, and there will also be live Q&As.
With so many to choose from, it’s hard to know where to even begin, but based on a cursory (and entirely unscientific) probe, I’ll personally be taking tropical island Escapists spin-off The Survivalists for a test-run, alongside the likes of 7th Beat Games’ daffy one-button rhythm game Rhythm Doctor, internship nope-’em-up Say No! More, gorgeous animal-themed dystopian noir thriller Backbone, serene puzzler A Monster’s Expedition, cinematic platformer Unto the End, and Triple Topping’s biographical adventure Welcome To Elk.
The Steam Game Festival: Summer Edition marks the third outing for the event, which is intended to showcase a wide variety of indie games, and follows more or less the same template as previous iterations, albeit on a considerably grander scale.
Last year’s debut event featured 13 playable indie demos, and over 50 were included when it returned in March to flaunt its springtime wares; however, that’s been boosted to over 900 demos, according to Valve, now that summer is here.
