These devs basically made their own Danganronpa, and I already feel at home in its mysterious Steam Next Fest demo

1 week ago | gamesradar.com | Oscar Taylor-Kent

Danganronpa sickos like me will never stop asking for a new one, even if we understand why that's unlikely to actually happen. Which is why I have to applaud Kumitantei: Old-School Slaughter, which has a Steam Next Fest demo, for carrying the torch forward. Developed by Mango Factory, the opening of this killing game murder mystery feels like playing a Danganronpa fan game, and I seriously mean that with love. Our Steam Next Fest guide details everything you need to know about this season's demos.

This Steam Next Fest demo mixes Journey with The Last Guardian, having me run through gorgeous fields with my fluffy herd

I downloaded Herdling during Steam Next Fest because, frankly, it looked gorgeous. Which means when the camera pans down to reveal my character sleeping rough in an underpass it's a bit of a reality check. Herdling has plenty of beauty within it, but it's also one where that's contrasted with some of the grimier flavors of the modern day. It all makes Herdling, in its opening hours, really feel like a journey.

My dream The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time successor is finally playable in Steam Next Fest, and I'm pleased to report it nails the Nintendo 64 vibes

I'm not made of stone, of course I loved The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – yet at the same time, I do dearly miss the dungeon-heavy adventures of old. Which is why, playing Azaran: Islands of the Jinn during Steam Next Fest, I was overjoyed to find out it's a 3D adventure that pays direct homage to that classic Nintendo 64 Zelda structure.
Batman Arkham combat is reimagined as a disco nightmare in this Steam Next Fest demo - and yes, you can already import your own songs

Playing the Dead as Disco demo during Steam Next Fest, I feel like I'm kindred spirits with developer Brain Jar Games. Just like me, they must have understood that while Batman Arkham City and the rest of the series deliver sublime action, the timing-based brawls are also just as much rhythm games, hours and hours spent in the game's challenge maps scored by the thwacks of punches rather than music. Dead as Disco simply asks – well, what if these scraps were scored by some incredibly cool tunes?
Date Everything review: "A masterclass in character design full of wonderful faces I love meeting, but juggling so many means sacrificing depth"

2 weeks ago | gamesradar.com | Oscar Taylor-Kent

I'll always appreciate the simplicity of a video game title like Date Everything that does what it says on the tin. In this debut romance from Sassy Chap Games you really do date just about everything you can set your peepers on, and with 100 'dateables' to meet, all within your household and all fully voiced, that frequently is more than you'd expect. Handsome himbos hide in the closet, bickering besties are a door away, and drama is afoot in the laundry room.

Why is Poirot in a '70s disco nightclub? Just go with it! I didn't like the last game very much, but Death on the Nile is showing stylish promise. https://t.co/XKw6QdWi3K

Looking to scratch that Danganronpa itch? I'm really intrigued by the 80s setting of @Kumitantei! https://t.co/gwxmD2ixk9 @MangoFactoryEN
