    Anyone have any standouts to suggest? The ones I’ll be taking for a spin are:

    REPLACED - Long-awaited with visually striking pixel art, revealed on a big publisher stage

    Esoteric Ebb - Tabletop-inspired CRPG that looks great

    Alabaster Dawn - New game from the CrossCode dev

    Vampire Crawlers - New game from the Vampire Survivors dev

    inKONBINI - Actually already went through this one last time and found the short chill experience fairly engaging

      Thanks for the recommendation.

      I played the game and Replaced might be the best thing I played this Next Fest so far. I had to find this post back just to thank you.

      Replaced is a good but short taste of the game, I played the demo and aim keeping it on my wishlist

    My suggestions are:

    Scott Pilgrim EX Beat’em up RPG in the universe of Scott Pilgrim, it is a well-made game even if you don’t know that IP.

    Wax Heads You work on a record store matching LPs to customers and helping local bands.

    Phonopolis Beautifully-made point & click adventure(cardboard style), with well-made puzzles.

    Pluto I went for the art, but really liked the mechanics to cast spells. You can put an element on each of your fingers that matches the pattern of a spell card. If a spell ends in water, and another starts with water you can chain them to use fewer fingers. There is a bunch of mechanics going on to modify the behaviour of your fingers, like rings, power ups, or enemy curses.

    Ive been waiting on last man sitting for absolutely ages but it appears to have changed quite a bit from the original idea. Gonna download it and see if its been worth the wait!

    Titanium Court is another big one that sounds and looks amazing.

    The intro video song is custom made for steam. It’s fricken hilarious
