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

Welcome to Part 17 of the Let's Play Some Demos! | LPSD series!
For those who are new, I aim to introduce gamers to, usually, Indie games and to provide commentary and feedback on the games for educational purposes!
For this episode, I used some of the demos I had grabbed from the Cooking Fest and Cozy Quest Steam Events! I think. I grabbed a bunch during those events, and outside of them, so I don't know anymore… 

Manitas Kitchen is also on itch.io!

 Each demo gets 30 minutes, not including the adjustment of settings and character creation.

Today, I, attempted, to play 4 demos for your enjoyment, which resulted in my picking a fifth:

1. Doloc Town – Available: To be announced
   Doloc Town is a cozy pixel art farm simulation game set in a post-apocalyptic world. Build your dream farm from scratch and explore this mysterious wasteland. Harvest, plant, build, and battle against ferocious creatures while discover the untold stories of this forgotten land!
2. Feed the Cups – Early Access Game
   Feed the Cups is a Roguelite multiplayer online cooperative game. Run a Drink Shop, stocking up, preparing ingredients, taking orders, crafting drinks, cleaning up, and checking equipment. Join your friends together!
3. Manitas Kitchen – Available
   Welcome to Manitas Kitchen, a casual cooking game with a dressing of arcade and mini-games, where you’ll meet Trexito, a T-Rex with short arms that has one dream: to become the best pizza maker!
4. Mushroom Picnic Party – Planned Release Date: Q1 2025
   Help find little mushrooms and prepare for an epic picnic party in this cute hand-drawn hidden object game!
5. Rift of the NecroDancer – Available: Feb 5, 2025
   The NecroDancer's back in an all-new rhythm game! Dragged into a strange new world, Cadence must engage in musical combat with monsters surging through the Rift! Face pulse-pounding Rhythm Rifts where every beat is a battle, all set to an original soundtrack by Danny Baranowsky & friends.

All links above are to the games' Steam pages.

Why was it an "attempt" to play? Because the gameplay for Feed the Cups could not be recorded, just like with Backpack Battle. So, since the rest of the demos were short, I decided to grab a fifth! I'll have to pick a day to play the non-recordable demos on my own, take screenshots, and do a separate mini-review.
