Thank you @heavylunchco.bsky.social for letting me get an early look at your new demo releasing during Steam Next Fest for Hermit and Pig! I highly recommend checking this out! The new demo is a little less than 2 hours of content and I really enjoyed my time!

Hermit and Pig is shaping up to be somethin good! Particularly enjoy the combat, which asks you to really study the encounter. It has shades of stuff like Earthbound, but it's very unique and I love it.

Thanks for letting me check it out, @heavylunchco.bsky.social!

Played some demos from the Six One Indie Showcase btw! Wanted to do a small thread about them and my impressions. These will be very short due to the word limit so bear with me.

The six demos I tried were:
- Gecko Gods
- Hermit & Pig
- Children of Saturn
- GodsTV
- Plum Toad Tea Dream
- Scrabdackle
