Steam Next Fest is happening right now and goes until October 20th. If you don’t know, this is a week-long event where hundreds of demos from upcoming games are made available on Steam for players to check out.
I still haven’t had the time to play any demos yet, but for today’s post I decided to share a bit of a different selection from the demos I saw. I found some charmingly weird games participating this time and I figured it would make for an interesting post.
If you’re curious about any of them, try out their demos and/or add them to your wishlist! This really helps indie developers.
Descriptions were taken from each game’s respective Steam pages.
Dogpile – Merge dogs into big dogs in this roguelike deck builder
Dogpile is a roguelike deck builder about merging cute dogs into bigger dogs. When two of the same dog touch, BAM! You get a BIGGER dog. With careful placement, some clever purchases, and a can-do attitude, you can merge pups strategically and achieve the biggest dogs imaginable.
