Theale, UK – 3 October, 2022: Prime Matter and Ravenscourt are releasing five PC demos as part of the Steam Next Fest (SNF). The event, running across the Steam platform from 3 – 10 October, kicks off at 16:00 BST and will see numerous game demos, developer livestreams and chat across a range of titles.
Additionally, two new trailers are going live, the first a gameplay trailer for Floodland, giving players a birds eye view of the mechanics, pace and interface of this amazing new survival city builder; and a new announcement trailer showcasing Kona II: Brume’s immersive narrative-adventure.
Tapping into this global event will be a number of titles from the Prime Matter and Ravenscourt stable, covering genres from city builder to action adventure. These are:
Floodland: A society survival game set in a world destroyed by climate change. Explore, scavenge and build a city to unite the clans. Conflicting cultures and limited resources mean you need to make tough choices. The demo will take players from their first steps in founding a settlement through to when your township takes its first steps in exploring the surrounding islands. A brand new gameplay trailer to accompany the SNF demo is also being released today.
