We know that every Steam Next Fest means a mountain of demos that no mortal could possibly conquer and a ton of emails about more cool games than you can be expected to remember. With that in mind, we just wanted to give you a reminder about a handful of demos from our clients that you may have missed, available to play as part of Steam Next Fest now.
Golden Swirl
Try a mold-breaking fusion of deckbuilding strategy and action-combat evasion in Golden Swirl’s updated demo. Unlike traditional turn-based games, Golden Swirl has you dodging boss attacks while playing your cards, balancing deck-building with tactical movement.
Duelist: Idle Expedition
The updated demo for Duelist: Idle Expedition gives players an early look at the JRPG pixel-art idle auto-battler ahead of its planned release later this year. Build and manage a travelling Guild of hand-drawn Duelists, watching them fight, grow, and adventure across the Continent, even when you step away.
Stickerino
Experiment with powerful sticker combinations and build-breaking synergies in Stickerino, a fast-paced roguelite deckbuilder focused on short, replayable runs. The new Steam Next Fest demo introduces a progression system, a new playable character, 10 additional Monstraks, and numerous quality-of-life improvements ahead of the game's Summer 2026 launch.
Knuckle Creek
Try the claymation chaos of Knuckle Creek's new demo, the arena brawler from the developers of acclaimed shmup Platypus Reclayed. Battle through 48+ bite-sized stages solo or clobber your friends in couch and online matches for up to 8 players, all brought to life in gloriously tactile clay-animated detail.
