11 Must-Play Indie Game Demos From Steam Next Fest 2026 Plenty of indie games have jumped on the annual Q1 demo bandwagon. Here are a few brilliant game previews to check out as soon as you can.

Did a list. Some bloody good games on this one - some you might have seen, others overlooked.

Wax Heads is the one I was most hype for and it lived up to that!!! @waxheadsgame.bsky.social have worked hard to create a diverse cast of characters, a good plot, and a world that I just wanted to live in. The music is stellar, the art is gorgeous, and the gameplay loop is fun as heck!

An image of the screen that appears when loading Wax Heads, offering players two choices "No Refunds" of "Customer is always Right" These are accessibility options provided to give players control over how they want to play Wax Heads. For the "No Refunds" option, every recommendation is unique: sometimes it's perfect, sometimes not so much. You'll have to live with the consequences of your choices. (But don't worry! you'll never get stuck or lose progress) For the "Customer is always right" option, this is for those who want to always give the best possible answer to every client, you can retry each recommendation in exchange for a small penalty.

We're putting the work in to provide players with a variety of accessibility options for Wax Heads.

We'll share more info as we approach launch, but here's an example:

When you load our game you'll be given two options 👇

this made me laugh more than it should

Checked out Wax Heads by @waxheadsgame.bsky.social !! It was really good. The music was such a vibe and I had fun perusing the different records and trying to figure out what the customers wanted based on what they said or other clues in the world.

I'm just amazed how I get to relive my punk teen youth all over again through @waxheadsgame.bsky.social now.

I'm excited to get to play the full version of it once it's out! ❤️🤘

It's more than just selling 💜

Thanks so much for playing and for spreading the word! 🙏

Y'all NEED to play the demo right now!

The amount of love and care and queer joy in this game is insane. My personal favorite thing? The graphic design on the vinyls.

The gameplay loop is fun, the story is compelling so far - The world!! I want that record store to be real SO badly.

devs: brb just casually building an entire music industry 🎵

Wax Heads is a labor of love. We hand-drew *everything*, created all original music, & agonized over every line of dialogue.

It's a celebration of music, community, friends, human creativity and more!
