I was a bit gloomy going into this Nextfest because of all the AI doomerism surrounding it, but it turned out to be one of the better ones I’ve experienced tbh.

Some games I appreciated:

ROBIN: Chill tile-laying deckbuilder.

Ballistic.exe: “ARMA without the fun”, interesting and stylised ballistics simulator / gun building game.

Kopernicus: Incremental Suffering: Surrealist horror-game. Check it out if you like surrealist titles like Hylics or Brutal Orchestra.

Probably Stolen: You run a stall in a Cyberpunk dystopia, would recommend.

Dungeons & Dynasties: Meta-DnD, you run an adventurers guild in a simulated world based on DnD (had performance issues in this one on Linux)
