"Let's Play Some Demos!" Video Series YouTube Playlist 

Welcome to Part 35 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)?
For this episode, I used some of the demos I had grabbed from the Myths & Legends & Women’s Day Sale Steam Events (I think), and others!

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 enjoyment, and ended up upping it to 5:

1. Gataela by Atemly Games | Planned Release Date: To be announced A decade ago a civil war tore across the Kingdom. Zack, an orphan, embarks on a mission to improve his loved ones' lives. Uncover schemes, investigate mysteries, and debate the citizens and nobles of Gataela! Will he discover hidden truths that threaten to rip apart the nation all over again?
2. Illuminaria by Selva Interactive | Available Command a swarm of intelligent robots in their quest to save the world. Mine resources, manage, and defend multiple bases. Go on expeditions, fight in auto-battles, research new technologies, and create your army of golems to bring back the light.
3. Sker Ritual by Wales Interactive | Available An intense round-based zombie survival FPS, play solo or co-op. Shoot your way through relentless waves of vicious horrors with high-octane objectives, upgrading steampunk weapons, collecting Celtic God powers, and surviving the onslaught of the Quiet Ones.
4. Town Keeper by Cuddle Code | Available Build a rabbit town while defending it from the fluffy empire's invasions.
5. Saint Maker - Horror Visual Novel by Yangyang Mobile | Available A haunted convent. Statues that move on their own. A buried past. Welcome to Saint Idelora's convent, where becoming a saint comes with a price.

All links above are to the games' Steam pages.
Also, Gataela, Illuminaria, and Town Keeper are on itch.io!

Why was it an "attempt" to play? Because Saint Maker - Horror Visual Novel took the demo away some time after the game was released. May they be hounded by refund requests for the rest of their days.

For anyone interested in the mini-reviews, it will be available on the Opinions & Truth | O&T blog at my earliest convenience, here.

And that's it for Part 35! Thank you for reading!
