https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/the-best-demos-to-play-during-this-weeks-steam-next-fest/
Steam Next Fest is here again, once again cramming a ridiculous amount of free game demos into a single week that is nowhere near long enough to play them all, or even play most of them. A lot of the demos are for games you might have seen during not-E3, so you're no doubt itching to get downloading and dive in.
But where to begin? To help you keep from getting completely buried, we've picked out a few Steam Next Fest Demos to get started with. Just don't forget there are hundreds more—yes, hundreds—so don't feel like you need to stop at our recommendations. We're just giving you a little shove.

Project Zomboid mod is Disco Elysium but it's the apocalypse
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/project-zomboid-mod-is-disco-elysium-but-its-the-apocalypse/
We love a bit of Disco Elysium here at PCG towers, with the game's Final Cut edition currently standing tall at #1> in our list of the best games on PC. Another game we're big fans of is Project Zomboid, which has slowly but steadily amassed a sizeable and creative community over years of excellent developer support. You can probably tell where this is going.
Modder Gabester has created Elysium Island in Project Zomboid, a map that recreates certain locations from Disco Elysium, including hostel cafeteria the Whirling-In-Rags. The mod also includes other elements from the game, for example: "One particular warehouse floor doesn't have lights. You'll need a torch to discover a gruesome secret."
