The June 2022 Steam Next Fest has been ongoing since last weekend. For folks out of the loop, this is a regular event where indie devs upload their demos for a one week showcase. The event ends on June 20, so I think it’s a great chance to share your favorite demo you tried this week and for others to try it.
I’ll share one: NAIAD. This was revealed during one of the “E3” showcases and immediately caught my eye. It’s a slower, relaxing journey through beautiful art where you control a “water spirit.” In it, you use your swimming and song powers to restore nature back to life, unite a baby duck back with its mom, and more. It reminded me of a more methodical mix of A Short Hike and Wandersong.
Also, here’s the thread from last weekend with folks giving their early impressions: link (special shout out to /u/cthulhusmonocle for their incredible write ups in both quality and quantity - seriously, check out their posts in that thread).
V Rising has been out for a month now, what are your thoughts on the game now and are you optimistic for its future? How do you think it compares to other survival games? I’ve seen a lot of comparison to Valheim.
I personally found the game pretty addicting, admittedly I haven’t tried PVP much since I have a job which makes the official raiding times difficult. But I have had immense fun playing with my friends on our dedicated PVE server.

Hi, and thank you for giving us the chance to present Zodiac Legion.
Zodiac Legion is a tactical RPG, in which you take command of a knightly order of an arcane chivalric order to lead them in turn based tactical battles and conduct their research and development efforts on the strategic layer.
We wanted to make a fantasy X-COM when we started working on Zodiac Legion, by combining old school dungeon crawling with the strategic elements of X-COM (research, base construction, mission choices).
The game and mixes procedural generation with preset level blocks, to provide various levels that still follow our vision. Zodiac Legion also features the permadeath of your favorite characters, but by focusing your efforts on the relevant magic branch, you can still lead them in battle after their death.
Since the post of our trailer in /r/Games last year, we made a short demo that showcases the tactical part of the game, but it is still not very user …
The tool has been around for a couple of years now and while it has a dedicated following I feel like a lot of people have never even heard of it. Dragons Dogma 2 has just been announced and Wabbajack has also just started to officially support the original. Since there are probably quite a few people that plan to replay the original before the sequel comes out I figured now might be a good time to bring some attention to the tool.
Wabbajack is a tool that allows you to download currated mod lists created by various dedicated modding teams. These lists can vary in size and the bigger once contain thousands of mods. The installation of these lists usually requires little to no manual configuration. You do need an original copy of the game you wish to mod and while not needed, a nexusmods premium account will speed up the installation of some of the bigger mod lists dramatically.
As of right now Wabbajack supports the following games officially:
Darkest Dungeon
Dishonored
Dragons …
