Let's Play Some Demos! - Part 36

1 day ago

Welcome to Part 36 of the"Let's Play Some Demos! | LPSD" series!
For those who are new, I aim to provide commentary and feedback on game demos for educational purposes! In addition, with how saturated Steam is, let's get these Indie games some attention, shall we (and the occasional AAA game I think isn't getting enough attention)?

RULES!
Typically, there are 4 demos. Each demo gets 30 minutes, not including the adjustment of settings and character creation. I might up it to 5 and/or play a great game for longer if there are technical issues. Or a demo finishes before the timer goes off.
And NO AI's spit, aka. plagiarism laundering.

Today, I, attempted, to play 4 demos for your entertainment, and ended up upping it to 5:
1. Cauldron by SleepyDad Games | Available | https://store.steampowered.com/app/2619650/Cauldron | https://peterregg.itch.io/cauldron
Cauldron is an upgrade-heavy, minigame-centric, turn-based RPG. Play minigames to strengthen your party, then win battles to uncover more map, more heroes, more minigames, more everything! If your favorite plant is an upgrade tree, then this game is for you!
2. Guild Saga: Vanished Worlds by Ocelot | Available in Early Access | https://store.steampowered.com/app/2184350/Guild_Saga_Vanished_Worlds
On your maiden voyage with the Heroes Guild, your ship was capsized by an enigmatic maelstrom, stranding your party on Respite Island. Navigate your way through pirates, ferocious beasts, and shady alchemists as you unravel its mysteries.
3. Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel by Games Farm | Available | https://store.steampowered.com/app/3047240/Jotunnslayer_Hordes_of_Hel_Demo
Hordes of Hel is a gripping roguelike horde-survivor game set in the dark realms of Norse Mythology. Fight waves of enemies to earn divine blessings of ancient Viking Deities, explore hostile worlds and face powerful bosses. Become a god-like warrior in this ultimate showdown.
4. A Trail of Ooze by Insanto Studios | Planned Release Date: To be announced | https://store.steampowered.com/app/1523940/A_Trail_of_Ooze | https://insantostudios.itch.io/a-trail-of-ooze
A Trail of Ooze is an udderly amoosing point-and-click adventure set on a small Swedish farm. Play as Majros - a sarcastic cow on a mission to save her human and unravel an ooze conspiracy.

Why was it an "attempt" to play? Because the puzzly nature of "A Trail of Ooze" annoyed me, so I went back to Cauldron (I wonder which one she liked the most...).

For anyone interested in a mini-review, it will be available on the Opinions & Truth | O&T blog at my earliest convenience, here: https://wp.me/p6f7OZ-eBV

If you don't see *Part 36* when you click the link, it means I'm still working on it. Feel free to look at other videos while you wait!
