ID@Xbox Winter Game Fest Demo Event

Starting December 7 and running through December 21, you’ll be able to play over 35 demos of upcoming unreleased games for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One!

Read more about the ID@Xbox Winter Game Fest Demo Event at Xbox Wire.

There are a few things to keep in mind:

  • These are not normal “game demos.” Typically, the demos you see in our Demo channel are created after the game is completed (or nearly completed) and represent the final version. Many of these demos are early, and some are for games that won’t be out for quite some time. Think of these as akin to “show floor demos,” and not necessarily indicative of the final product. What that means is that you’ll get to experience these games early – some way early – which is awesome, but you should also note that these games will continue to evolve and be polished as they near release.
  • These demos will only be available for a limited time. Some might be re-published to the Demo channel later, but many will simply evaporate after December 21, so make sure to check them out while they’re available.
  • The developers would love to hear what you think. Hit them up on social media or through their websites. If you like the game, or have any suggestions – tell them!

Your decisions will bring interesting twists into the gameplay, as you can heavily influence the conflict and its outcome. You will experience hundreds of intense fights in a brutal medieval meets sci-fi world, where every decision has its consequences. Level up your hero, improve your skills before facing one of many boss fights and get ready for an unprecedented amount of possibilities. Intriguing Story Dig into the forgotten past of the world. Uncover the conspiracy behind the events that take place as you play. Let sides of the conflict make you understand their motives for fighting or disregard everything and everyone and just make the world burn. The story of the Last Oricru is complex and it may take multiple different play-throughs to make all pieces of the puzzle finally click together. Impactful Decisions Massive decision tree in which your decisions lead to different outcomes, affecting story, characters, game endings but also visuals of levels or even the gameplay flow. Every action, sub-quest or life taken can affect your reputation with each faction. There are multiple ways to play through The Last Oricru and no right or wrong decision. Your decisions will shape the fate of the world, literally. Challenging Combat The combat is easy to learn but hard to master and aims to create a tough but rewarding experience. Melee and ranged weapons with unique attack animations and secondary abilities, shields, techno-magical items, weight management and upgrade system offer a wide range of customization for your play-style. You will encounter various mass fights, in which you can prove your loyalty by aiding your comrades in arms but also fight your way through unsuspecting and surprised enemies, as you travel through a number of distinct areas of the war-torn world. Be prepared to die... A lot! Couch Coop Invite your friends over or tell your significant other to join you in your adventures! The Last Oricru is designed to make co-op a unique experience, so for example you can find new fun ways to defeat bosses or reach special secret areas. The Classic RPG character stat system also enables each of you to specialize your character differently, so you can reap the benefits of role diversity: become beefy melee tank and protect your archer friend or become a duo of mages and use one of co-op only spells to wreak havoc among enemies. You may also want to be a pair of swordsmen, hacking your way through enemies should-by-shoulder. It's entirely up to you and your partner-in-game.

Best Month Ever! Demo

Klabater

18
Best Month Ever is a modern narrative-driven visual adventure game about Louise, a single mother, and her growing-up son Mitch. One day Louise finds out she is terminally ill and has only one month to live and raise her son. How do you explain such things to an 8-year old kid? Young Mitch is picking up things fast - like a small duckling, he observes his mother and imitates her behavior. Time is running and Louise has to think about making the right decisions. Together they hit the road to spend this one last month. The decision she will make on the way will forever change her son’s future. This intense family trip takes place during a groovy 60s era. Mother and son are thrown into both dangerous and funny situations, all of which impact their relationship and future. In the background of their intimate tale, there’s the USA torn apart by political tensions and social inequalities brutally dividing the country. You will learn about the facts and decisions from the past in flashbacks and through memories of the grown-up Mitch - the narration constantly switches between the “past” (the 60s) and the “present” (the 70s). Finally, we jump back in time to decide what choices Louise made and how they affected the future of the two. Players’ decisions will also help shape a unique image of her as to what kind of person she was. Decisions REALLY matter! To keep track of Mitch’s growth as a person, each choice you make adds positive or negative influence to three statistics: Righteousness, Confidence, and Relations. As a result, this changes your story on the go, which makes each player's experience feel unique. Mother & Son relationship - Not only their individual fate will be subject to change, but also their mutual relationship. Best Month Ever is above all else the story of an absolutely unique bond that can only exist between a mother and a son and it can be both touching and challenging at the same time. Different Outcomes - Turn on, tune in, drop out… and enjoy your decisions’! Different choices result in different endings of the game. It is up to the player’s decisions what kind of person the grown-up Mitch will become and what exactly happened during the memorable journey through the USA. Weird 60s trip - What a time to travel it was! Canned Heat was singing about “Going Up the Country” while Bob Dylan asked “How does it feel” to have no home and live on the street. Louise and Mitch travel across the country, meeting bikers, hippies, Ku Klux Klan, Native Americans, and far-out wanderers of all sorts. No losers here! - Don’t be a square, you can’t ‘lose’ in Best Month Ever! Your decision will shape Mitch as an adult person. He may of course get some kicks on the way, but hey, the story will still be unique and rewarding! Can you dig it?
