BEST RPGS FOR MAC ON STEAM FULL
The demo is only two days worth of game, but you can see how much depth the full thing could have. I'm a fan of conceptual twists on the mighty hero story (like Moonlighter and whatnot) and Travellers Rest does that whilst also being a fun life management RPG. What is it? A life sim RPG where instead of being an adventurer you're the one running the tavern they go to in between adventures.

Get the free Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk demo here. YMMV with the humour, as they say, but it belies the fact that the combat is bloody hard.
The archer is a blonde elf called The Elf, the ranger is an uptight beardy man called The Ranger, and the dwarf has a Scottish accent, an axe, and is called The Dwarf. You lead a little band of adventurers through tactical turn-based combat in a grim dungeon full of orcs and what not. That's Naheulbeuk's whole thing, really: massively taking the piss out of D&D. This is the only fantasy RPG with a name like The Something Of Something Colon The Thing Of Something Else where I can be reasonably sure that it's a self-aware joke. I first had a go of this one at Digi-Rezzed a few months ago (God, remember when we were allowed to go outside and gather in groups?). Who's it by? Artefacts Studio, Dear Villagers What is it? Hyper-tropey D&D fantasy RPG, with tough tactical combat and its tongue in its cheek. The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet Of Chaos This is, I suspect, going to be a tough nut to crack. There's been a terrible murder on Paradise Island, and as you explore the extremely weird 3D metropolis of unreality, you run into its extremely weird citizens - each a suspect! The case possibly involves ritual sacrifice, conspiracy, demons, jealously, and a space helmet that allows inter-dimensional travel. LLD has been called back in for one last job after being exiled for donkeys years for an undisclosed transgression. You play as "investigation freak" Lady Love Dies, which I spose is what denizens of unreality call detectives. I did wonder if this strictly counts as an RPG, but fuck it, it's in the Steam tags for the game, so I'm 'avin it. Who's it by? Kaizen Game Works, Fellow Traveller What is it? Distinctly less hard-bitten and more high-concept magical realism murder-mystery-exploration game set on an island outside of time and space. Get the free Backbone demo prologue here. You have to pay attention and think like you do when you have a chat in real life. After all, if you've just asked someone how their wife is, it's weird to then immediately go "I'm looking for someone!". Your responses and dialogue choices evolve with the conversation, so you don't end up in immersion breaking loops.
You don't have a set 1,2,3 list of questions or options to ask. I can take or leave an "animal species as racism" metaphor (probably leave, if I had my druthers) but Backbone is one of the first games in a long, long while where having a conversation with an NPC actually feels like having a conversation. While the art in Backbone is luverly, especially the lighting, I think the thing that most excites me about it is the dialogue. I've talked about Backbone before, because it is achingly stylish and I love a detective story as much as the next man, especially when the next man is Vidbud Matthew Castle. What is it? Neo-noir detective RPG where you are a tough-bitten raccoon in a tough-bitten overcoat, and everyone else is an animal too. If you can't be bothered to read the lovely words I spent ages writing for you, hit the jump to the bottom of page 2 and you can see the full list. Wares to suit every purse (especially because these demos are all free for the weekend, right?). There's only, like, two elves, and the rest is an array of witches, sentient animals, magic paintbrushes and surreal dreamscapes. If you saw RPGs and thought "Christ, she's done a list of all elves and wizards and that" then you're wrong. This isn't an exhaustive list, of course, even though I got overexcited and did far too many, but it's hopefully going to give you a place to start. There are a lot, so I confined myself to RPGs. Readers, I have put on my waders and made my way into the deep mill pool of the Steam Game Festival: Summer edition free demos.
