“Let’s face it: Not everyone can attend a physical trade show or consumer event,” Keighley said. “Now feels like the right time to take the next step with The Game Festival, a completely digital approach to the consumer event space.”
With that in mind, The Games Festival is bringing playable first-look demos of more than 12 notable titles to anyone with a Steam account.
These will be available for 48 hours starting 10 a.m. PST/1 p.m. EST on December 12. After 48 hours, the demos will be removed. The available games include:
System Shock (Nightdive Studios) Eastward (Pixpil/Chucklefish) Spiritfarer (Thunder Lotus) Moving Out (SMG Studio/Devm Games/Team17) Röki (Polygon Treehouse/United Label) Chicory (Greg Lobanov) Wooden Nickel (Brain&Brain) Haven (The Game Bakers) Heavenly Bodies (2pt Interactive) Acid Knife (Powerhoof) The Drifter (Powerhoof) CARRION (Phobia/Devolver) SkateBIRD (Glass Bottom Games)
