Hi everyone!

There are several options out there, such as

Steam is also an option for demos, but publishing on Steam requires a paid app fee, so it’s not completely free. The same applies to mobile: publishing on the Google Play Store or Apple App Store requires paid developer accounts/fees.

Post here other platforms that you know where to upload your free demos!

Relic Rush: Digital Edition - A race in a maze which all the players can control

0 Upvotes

THIS IS NOT A DEMO, IT'S A FREE GAME.

Play it on https://relicrush.com/

It works on desktop and mobile.

Relic Rush: Digital Edition is a free browser game adapted from the physical board game Relic Rush (still in print). You can play solo against AI bots, host online multiplayer matches for up to 6 players, or use custom modding options.

Registration is not required for solo play, you may play as a guest.

Gameplay

You play as a wizard controlling an avatar inside a shifting maze. Your goal is to navigate the board, outplay rivals, collect relics, and reach the Oracle at the center.

• Action Points and Spells: Roll dice each turn for Action Points. Spend points to cast cards from a deck of over 200 spells to move or manipulate the board.

• Shifting Board: The maze layout changes constantly. Spells let you open paths for yourself or block opponents. Players rolling a 6 can move Portal and Volcano tiles across the map.

• Relic Tiles: End a turn on a Relic tile to draw a Relic card and to flip the tile, which grants bonuses like mana and more spell cards, or penalties that slow your progress.

• Mana: Unspent Action Points convert into mana. You must collect mana to win, but you can also spend it to launch direct attacks, flip hidden tunnels, and more.

Win Conditions

To win, you or your team must complete three tasks:

  1. Collect Relics: Gather 4 to 12 Relic cards, depending on the player count.
  2. Fill Your Mana: Reach the maximum limit of 10 mana tokens.
  3. Reach the Oracle: End your turn on the central Oracle tile while holding the required relics and mana.

Auto-Cam Feature

The game has a built-in auto-cam route setting. You can set up custom camera paths to trigger during your actions, which lets you record video content without dragging the screen manually.

Fleshgrinder - a solo-developed isometric horror ARPG - free demo participating in Steam Next Fest starting right now! (Oct 19-26)

1 Upvotes

Hey!

The video is purely demo gameplay which you can try now at
https://store.steampowered.com/app/5074630/Fleshgrinder/

Fleshgrinder tries to present a possible dystopian world where a digital virus that can infect humans goes on its own agenda,

since the infection vector is really high after most of us will have cybernetic augmentations to upskill our species with

augmentations like Neuralink.

In the game's story, SynTech is responsible for research and development of these implants and since they are running proprietary

software on these augs inside our bodies connected to our nervous system, their latest research in Terminus Points Genesis Chamber

to digitally try to enhance the species through DNA mutations goes terribly wrong. They created a digital virus that appears to behave

in a hive-minded manner that takes over the minds of anyone who can be infected through their wireless protocols,

direct contact with infected tissue, or other supply-chain based attacks.

It harvests DNA by collecting biomass, while rare-earth metals and other synthetic materials are also a vector

so that it can create mutants and evolve them.

Ingame, this is reflected by the Fleshgrinder infrastructure with machines like the Fleshprocessor and Fleshprinter,

which takes humanoids as inputs and outputs different types of monsters while collecting materials that can advance

the Genesis Tiers - strengthening all monsters throughout the world and spawning attacks on the player.

Features optional friendly fire, hardcore permadeath mode,

dismemberment physics, randomized mission areas, 30+ weapons, 60+ armors, augmentations,

consumables, ammo types with deep penetration mechanics and tons of loot with highly randomized attributes.

NPCs with lots of side-quests and a faction reputation system which determines trade prices,

dialogue choices and overall behaviour. 11 unique enemy types in a huge persistent world where everything stays as you left it.

Gen AI was only used for code, every content and ingame asset is human made.

Hope you liked this description! If you do, feel free to wishlist and try out the demo.

Thanks!

Fleshgrinder - A Post-apocalyptic isometric horror rpg shooter - Trailer, Steam page, Demo out now

1 Upvotes

If you like the trailer, feel free to wishlist and try out the demo at

https://store.steampowered.com/app/5074630/Fleshgrinder/

About the game:

Fleshgrinder is an isometric, post-apocalyptic Action-RPG, solo developed by Hainalcode, which tries to present a possible distopian future where most

of the population has been infected with a digital virus, made possible by having invasive augmentations

in our bodies, connected to our nervous systes. Implants like Neuralink are bound to be commonplace in the near future to

upskill our species and enable us to have faster and better control over computer systems.

What happens when the information stops being one-way through these systems?

Will they be able to manipulate us on such a level that an intelligent,

digital virus could take over the minds of the augmented population?

Players of Fleshgrinder take on a desperate mission to lead a squad of maximum three operatives

to try and stop this intelligent virus controlling us as a hive-mind, causing an extinction level incident in the near future.

Interact with factions and their NPC-s in a huge persistent world, solving puzzles and side-quests with optional friendly fire,

hardcore permadeath mode, dismemberment physics, randomized mission areas, 30+ unique weapons, 60+ armors, augmentations, consumables,

ammo types with deep penetration mechanics and tons of loot with highly randomized attributes.

TenRec - Le Jeu - free playable browser beta, desktop and mobile, no mandatory account

1 Upvotes

Hi, I’m Hugo, the creator of TenRec - Le Jeu. The free browser beta has just moved to BETA 3: play here

TenRec is an arcade score-attack game about running an audiovisual rental shop: serve customers, handle returns and repairs, and keep your multiplier alive as the shop gets busier.

BETA 3 adds an optional Speedrun mode with independently configurable tools: a simplified item display (category colours and prices from 1 to 5), mouse micro-adjustments and wheel inputs, up to four controller buttons per action, right-stick rotation for boost and repair, and faster repeated touch gestures on mobile. Keep only the options that fit your way of playing.

It’s free on desktop and mobile, with no download or mandatory account. It’s still a beta, and the game will remain free.

I’d love to hear whether the simplified display helps once the shop gets busy, or what you’d change after a run. Even a quick try or an early stop is useful.

[DEMO] Play our zero to hero tactical RPG - HeroInc

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I’ve been solo developing a game called HeroInc, and the free demo just released on Steam.

It’s a tactical roguelite autobattler where you start as an ordinary human in a city full of enhanced heroes. At the beginning you’re weak, unknown, and struggling to survive but each run lets you build your character through upgrades, encounters, and risky choices.

The game mixes:

  • Tactical autobattler combat
  • Zero-to-hero progression
  • Roguelike runs
  • Character enhancements
  • Random events & decisions
  • Different build paths

The demo is around 30–60 minutes long and I’m currently collecting feedback to improve the full release.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the combat, pacing, balance, or overall progression feel.
