The Crimson Diamond looks like a nice text parser so far. Adventure games are really a hard genre to judge on a demo though.
Full Court Heroes might be interesting if you're a fan, but demo only has exhibition match so can't tell the quality of the player creation.

Also lists Limited Run as the developer. Those cucks fired someone for following libsoftiktok on twitter.

I tried few demos:
Lost in the Open -Low fantasy medieval setting. Player is a VIP who must flee assassins through hostile countryside. Main character and his retinue gather exp and get to choose upgrades from semi-random list during level ups. Map works in nodes, like in FTL or Wind and the Wilting Blossom, with enemies pursuing player to discourage travelling back. Has turn based tactical battles with action points and flanking. Seems challenging, but I didn't really feel it with this one.
Veterum -Next game from developer of Drums of War and Warbanners. Uses the same turn-based action point system as previous games. Demo offers few story missions and randomly generated missions on node-based open world. Sadly I didn't see any siege battles, but those should be included into finished game. I liked previous games and will probably end up liking this too.
Songs of Steel: Hispania -Historical, story focused strategy game about Roman conquest of Iberia. Relatively simple tactical battles with 2AP system, flanking, hero units and various terrain effects. In between those are some story bits and management of persistent army. Felt promising.
War of Wheels -.... I tried this because I had some cravings for games about vehicular combat and trailer of this indicated some sort of bizarre Mount and Blade -knockoff with cars and for some reason this was tagged as RPG. Demo had simple deadmatch arena, I had some fun, but that's probably just me not playing any sort of DM in years and getting my ego stroked by easy bot kills. Will follow the project with zero expectations.
There was also couple other demos, but those were too low quality to deserve a mention.

Wild Bastards Demo - FTL-like fps roguelike. It tries to be charming but it's not. Too easy. I think Returnal is the only fps roguelike which actually works.
Caravan Sandwitch Demo - charming walking sim. Good exploration. Too much woke stuff. No combat.
Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn – Demo - soulslike with performance issue. The retards had one job - copy DaS - and they failed. The combat is crap.
Selfloss Demo - 3rd person adventure game. Charming but the controls are shit. I cannot stand laggy controls anymore ...

I had the SNES game. Good fun but nothing special. Although SNES had some of the best platformers ever so...
Don't be silly. You don't need a simulator, if anything, the dev looked to you for inspiration.

You know Team Sneed has really made it when people start copying his games.

Sweet Baby Inc crap.
The entire bundle is seventy bucks as of right now, which is a lot of game for that money.
Sure, it's a whole lot of anime bullshit but there's a few gems in there (like Donald Duck cementing himself as the single most powerful wizard in all of Square Enix' games).
So if you like anime bullshit get it, if not just watch the clips on youtube.

What the fuck are those titles? 1.5 + 2.5? And then 2.8?! I swear, Japanese developers come up with weirdest titles for their games.

Yeah,and it looks like each one of these includes 5 games or something. You probably need a fucking chart to understand how the story goes

The demo of this was pretty good:
3d platformer basically, but the gameplay is about grip/jetpacks/your-cars-legs-are-stilts-made-out-of-giraffes/etc.
I'm too knackered right now to try another but the other stuff on my hitlist:
And of course
My reflections after spending quite a while digging: holy shit there are a lot of content-free roguelikes/"survival"/"building" whatever games. And a lot of cringeworthy pozzed looking stuff.
