5 Titles To Play During Steam Game Festival

The Steam game festival has just started, bringing with it free demos of over 40 games. Since it will last only until 23rd of March, there ain't no time to be slacking – you just want to get to the best titles and this is what we shall deliver! Here are our 5 top picks that will entertain you throughout the upcoming weekend.

Haven

Haven is an intriguing RPG featuring lovers that decided to escape to a lost planet.  What immediately stands out is its remarkable visual style that can easily engulf you into this mysterious world. As you battle various enemies and work to restore the order to this world, only 1 thing remains important – you must stay together.

Release Date: 2020

The Drifter

Looking for an intriguing noir thriller? In this reveal, The Drifter sets up a dark atmosphere so beautifully that we were immediately hooked. You will play as a drifter who soon becomes murdered, only to be re-animated back to life. There are many questions you need to answer, as you struggle to maintain that little chunk of sanity you've got left. Powerhoof promises a story with multiple twists which draws inspiration from famous horror writers like Carpenter and King. How can you go wrong with that?

CARRION

To our delight, CARRION switches usual roles by putting you in command of an amorphous creature of mysterious origins. You are pissed, and rightfully so, as you begin to consume puny humans that have decided to imprison you. While on your delightful path filled with panic and destruction, expect to unlock many new abilities, each of them more terrifying than the last. Sounds like an interesting way to let off a little bit of steam, no?

Lord Winklebottom Investigates

To lighten things up a bit, let's jump back into the 1920s where you will play as the world's most famous detective – Lord Winklebottom. Unfortunately, you've come at a time when he is presented with his most difficult case yet. As you might have deducted, this game mixes Holmes-like story with tongue-in-cheek humor and challenging puzzles that will leave you wanting more.

Heavenly Bodies

To conclude the Steam Game Festival list, we have a physics-focused game that will put you into the role of an 1970's astronaut. You will realize very soon that the absence of gravity is very problematic, as it will trigger various scenarios that you will have to wiggle through by pushing and twisting various levers. Among others, expect to learn how to construct space telescopes and research interesting new botanical species. You can see how the game looks in action here.
