Steam Next Fest is in full swing, and as usual there's an absolutely ridiculous number of demos available to try. Today, Valve's reached out to let us know the ten that have most captured your collective attention, earning more plays than any others.
>> I’ve only tried one of them, Metal Slug Tactics. The article has the links to those demos.

Tell Me Why, a narrative adventure from the creators of Life Is Strange, is free to keep on Steam right now to celebrate Pride month, and… hold on, haven't we done this before?

Bear with me for a bit of déjà vu: narrative adventure Tell Me Why is free to keep on Steam for the whole month of June, to celebrate Pride month. If that sounds familiar, there's a good reason for that, and it's not because you've unlocked time-shifting powers. By my reckoning this is the fourth year running that developer Don't Nod has done this.
It's a lovely tradition to keep going. The game itself is about a pair of twins confronting their past using a supernatural power—the link to Pride is that one of the two is trans, with their identity forming a major element of the plot. Don't Nod was also really put on the map by the original Life Is Strange, another adventure with LGBTQ+ themes. This feels like a lovely way of putting their money where their mouth is when it comes to respecting the wider community—especially as it's accompanied by a call from the developerv to "give your money and support to trans creators, trans-inclusive charities in your community, and trans people in need" this month. 
>> By now, you’ll either already have it or aren’t interested in it.
