#DemoFriday: Three Fresh Demos You Need to Play This Weekend

Happy #DemoFriday, DMG Loot Squad! We’ve scoured the indie-verse for the hottest hands‑on previews, and today’s lineup spans cozy settlement building, psychic court intrigue, and WW2 air‑base mastery. Ready to click “Download Demo” and lose track of time? Let’s dive in.

Folklands

• Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2282890/Folklands/
• Twitter (X): @FolklandsGame

Why it slaps:

• Chill City‑Builder Vibes: Gather resources, lay winding roads, and watch your tiny villagers thrive in painterly landscapes.
• Dynamic Seasons: Each season reshapes gameplay, stockpiles for winter, plants for spring, and celebrates summer festivals.
• Mod‑Friendly DNA: Devs are building with community creativity in mind, so expect mods galore after launch.

Perfect for fans of Dorfromantik and Islanders who want a deeper management loop with a cozy aesthetic.

 Mind Over Monarchy

• Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3628460/Mind_Over_Monarchy_Demo/
• Twitter (X): @wisePuppyGames

Why it slaps:

• Psychic Politics: You’re a telepathic advisor manipulating royal court decisions, reading minds, exposing plots, or… quietly erasing memories.
• Branching Consequences: Every “suggestion” ripples across alliances, uprisings, and your own moral compass.
• Stylish Visual Novel Meets Strategy: Hand‑drawn art, snappy dialogue, and resource‑balancing intrigue in one slick package.

Think Suzerain meets Inception—only you’re the one pulling the mental strings.

Ground of Aces

• Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2308690/Ground_of_Aces/
• Twitter (X): @BlindflugStudio

Why it slaps:

• WW2 Air‑Base Builder: Construct hangars, runways, and intel rooms while managing fuel, morale, and the ever‑present fog of war.
• High‑Stakes Missions: Scramble squadrons in real time, then watch the strategic map light up with dogfights and bombing runs.
• Authentic Yet Accessible: Historically inspired units without the spreadsheet overload—perfect for newcomers and grognards alike.

If you love the base‑building of RimWorld and the tension of Bomber Crew, buckle up.
