Recently, free game demos seem to have been making a resurgence. Often they're released on a temporary basis as part of promotional "digital showfloors", a trend that has been accelerated by the coronavirus pandemic. As part of this year's summer sale, GOG have released seven demos of upcoming titles. One of them is for Vagrus - The Riven Realms, the interesting-looking post-apocalyptic fantasy caravan management strategy RPG crowdfunded on Fig last year. Those who backed Vagrus have had access to alpha builds since the beginning, including an open world chapter released last month, but now the general public can check it out.


The Vagrus Prologue is available on GOG for free until June 15th, and will also be available on Steam starting from June 9th as part of the upcoming Steam Game Festival.
