Ludological Narrative Convention 2020 Demo Reviews

With absolutely every physical convention being made non-existent for probably the entire year, at least, more time-limited demos are being uploaded to Steam, regardless of whatever exclusivity the game itself has, so not sure why they insist on not being on Steam but the demos are. This brings us to the virtual LudoNarraCon, something I don't really pay much attention to normally so already it's working. The games and demos here more seem to be really "indie", as in there's a lot of dialogue and slower paced gameplay and also a bunch of things where either choices matter or there's some kind of message or both. Not so much the type of "indie" that involves roguelikes and hardcore platforming. But there's still the retro pixelated art style because that applies to anything. I've decided to go over a few demos briefly, namely for games that aren't already in my library through giveaways or bundles.
