Gaming Video Game Reviews LetsPlaySomeDemos LPSD AmadeusARiddleForThee LordAmbermaze NightDessert ThroughTheNightmares Gameplay MonriaTitans WGS

Welcome to Part 25 of the Let's Play Some Demos! | LPSD series!
For those who are new, I aim to introduce gamers to, usually, Indie games! In addition, with how saturated Steam is, let's get these games some attention, shall we?

RULES!
Typically, there are 4 demos. Each demo gets 30 minutes, not including the adjustment of settings and character creation. I might up it to 5 and/or play a great game for longer if there are technical issues. Or a demo finishes before the timer goes off.
And NO AI's spit, aka. plagiarism laundering.

Today, I, attempted, to play 4 demos for your enjoyment:
1. Amadeus: A Riddle for Thee by ArcanaXIX - Planned Release Date: 2025: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2772940/Amadeus_A_Riddle_for_Thee__Episode_1__Waltz
Play as Amadeus, a young werewolf struggling to understand his condition, as he navigates a tale woven by Witches. In desperation, he sells his own memories for a notebook and a promise. A linear narrative Visual Novel + Adventure Game. Episode 1 of 5.
CONTENT WARNING: This game deals with topics including: child abuse/neglect, death, murder. It also involves body horror with respect to the main character's werewolf transformations.

2. Lord Ambermaze by Potata Company - Planned Release Date: To be announced: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1811330/Lord_Ambermaze
Lord Ambermaze is an adventure RPG with a turn-based combat system and time manipulation mechanics – only your steps can force the flow of time to move. Delve into the depths of the underworld to challenge the evil Lord and restore time.

3. Night Dessert by mystific - Planned Release Date: 2025: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3397770/Night_Dessert
Night Dessert is a sultry talking simulator set in a cozy pixel-art pastry shop. Chat with intriguing characters, enjoy flirtatious conversations, and indulge in sweet secrets - all while a city under new prohibition laws tries to keep desires under wraps.
CONTENT WARNING: This game features suggestive dialogue, flirtation, dating scenarios, occasional depictions of nudity, and playful innuendos. While exploring romantic and sensual themes, the content remains non-explicit and focuses on character relationships, personal dramas, and emotional connections. The tone is chill and atmospheric, blending humor, sultry undertones, and a touch of intimacy. The game does not contain violence.
AI-GENERATED CONTENT DISCLOSURE: We are a small indie team without a dedicated composer, so we are currently using AI-generated music. Our goal is to replace it with original compositions as soon as our budget allows, and we would love to collaborate with talented musicians in the future.

The ONLY REASON I played this is because they INTEND to replace the AI's spit with original compositions.

4. Through the Nightmares by Sandman Team - Available: Coming soon: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1280580/Through_the_Nightmares_Demo
Help the Sandman to overcome all fears in the hardcore action-platformer Through the Nightmares. Find and rescue the children, fight all their phobias! Defeat the almighty Morpheus! Test your skill in a world where everything is trying to kill you. Die, resurrect, learn from mistakes and try again!

Why was it an "attempt" to play? Because Through the Nightmares made me rage quit.

Overall, I want Amadeus: A Riddle for Thee, and Lord Ambermaze, and they are on my wishlist. When the spit is replaced in Night Dessert, I'll wishlist it.

For anyone interested in a mini-review, it will be available on the Opinions & Truth | O&T blog later today, or this week: https://wp.me/p6f7OZ-c9f
