Citizen Sleeper looks interesting, though didn't look into anything other.
It's woke as fuck.

Well how much exactly? Is there a game inside that jellyfish os wokeness, a bone ander a meat (or probably on the contrary in English - a meat of game under dry bones of wokeness)?
If there is play value in that it doesn't matter much, I trained to not see that shit, nor fight it anymore.
The devs will get their own from a Lord in due time.

while normally i dont care, this gaym is writing heavy and characters will share their pronouns and tragic backstories without being asked
well, that's bad, ecpecially pronounces - I was taught to diff English and that abomination is hard/disg to touch with.

It's basically in your face. The entire story line is about the developer's personal agenda.

Hint: all mainstream gaming sites are hyping the game. Try it for yourself.

Still trying demos.

Blood Bar Tycoon - a vampire bar management game where you kidnap your human customers, drain their blood and serve it to your real customers while trying to maintain the masquerade. You can make your bar look like the cheapest-looking saloon ever known to men while having a hidden "vampire only" high class bar with dart games and pinball machines hidden behind the backdoor.
Fun even if a bit lacking in complexity so far. I suspect that the full version will be introducing more mechanics as the game goes on.

Skogdal - a deckbulding roguelike about you beating random people in a rural Norwegian town during the 90s.
Wouldn't call myself an authority on the subject but i felt it was not too shabby mechanics-wise. It also has arguably the coolest presentation i have ever seen from a deckbuilder.

Poke All Toads - a fun little puzzle game where your goal is to poke all toads and get away with it. Gets progressively more challenging as the levels goes on. Fairies are cute, especially the main one who pokes toads.

Spy Drops - a metal gear solid clone with a white haired anime girl as a protagonist and AI voiceovers. Not too bad but i felt that i should rather try the orginal metal gear solid first with an emulator, never played it before.

Glitch Dungeon Crystal - a 2D puzzle platformer with some metroidvania elements about babushka cleaning dungeons from glitches. Surprisingly fun.

Card-en-Ciel - another deckbuilder roguelike/roguelite with a very japanese plot about a gaming chair detective fighting crimes in a virtual world. Each card has a voice acting.

I found mechanics interesting with you having to discard cards in order to move and dodge enemy attacks. You can also lower enemy damage with a break effect in case you can't dodge or dodge by using an [action] card which works only at the moment the enemy is about to hit you.
There are characters that you can recruit called muses that grant a special effect by fullfilling a certain condition. Like "use three 0 cost cards in a single turn" after which a corresponding muse will come out, theme song will start blasting and now all these zero cost cards has Edit:perma damage boost effect that lasts until the end of turn. One of these muses plays a japanese Baba Yetu.
Card-en-Ciel just came out by the way, you can buy it now.

Silly Polly Beast - a pretty good looking survival horror game that i can instantly tell was made by slavs. Story is about a mute girl who has fallen into some sort of purgatory where she must hunt down some moffos in order to buy her freedom. Some Yuri might be involved too.
Not a survival horror connoisseur but i found this one pretty fun, even if the key to combat seems to be just spamming the dodge move.

Space Tales - a very starcraft inspired rts with the differences being the retro futuristic aesthetics and heavy focus on single player. There is a bunch of lore and research points that you can find during missions that can be used to ugrade your units.
Pretty nice based on what is avaliable in the demo.

Battlefall: State of Conflict - another one of those tiberium sun clones. There is a bunch of AoE buffs that you can use on your units like increase their movement speed or rate of fire.
Not bad but it didn't leave much of an impression on me.

Kill the Shadow - a detective game with a plot that succeeded in making me feel invested. Features multiple outcomes and branching narrative paths.
Game consists of gathering and connecting clues with the help of a mysterious shadowy companion who can pierce past memories.

Pretty cool but the demo is buggy.

I also really wanted to try this one

but the demo is not avaliable anymore unfortunately.
