Over the Hill GamingOct 19
Slowly, but steadily playing some #Nextfest demos. A game that rolls out a demo I can try before I buy is more likely to get on my wish list.

Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown Demo

Combines interactive fiction and base management. The demo takes the player through the events of "Caretaker" - the TV pilot. Feels like an early build lacking polish and quality of life. There were parts where I was trying to figure out the controls or what the game wanted me to do. It scratches that Star Trek itch, but doesn't quite land with me. Wishlisted.

Winter Burrow Demo
Young mouse returns from the big city and rebuilds his childhood burrow in the woods. A survival and exploration game wrapped in a cozy sweater. There's also tea and pie to counter the ice and snow. Charming vibe, engaging story, and solid mechanics. Wishlisted.

Ambrosia Sky Demo
Explore an asteroid colony overrun by fungus. Clean up games should be satisfying, but this one somehow isn't. I didn't connect with the story about the viewpoint character returning after leaving years ago. Not my cup of tea, not wishlisted.
