As for some initial quick recommendations? I have a good few gems here that I think are worth your time (and in no particular order):
| Blood Dungeon | over the hill |
| SPRAWL zero | SiN Reloaded |
| PengPong | Project P.I.T.T. |
| Guncrypt | Casualties: Unknown |
And as always, you can check out our own dedicated Demo tag for various games we've already covered at any point. You don't need to wait for some special event - we cover games nearly every day here on GamingOnLinux.

That Casualties Unknown looks AWESOME. Love weird stuff like that.
For me, here's a small list of things that look pretty awesome from a quick peek at the store front for the fest:
[Ghostpunk](https://store.steampowered.com/app/4378490/Ghostpunk/) - Investigate paranormal cases using a 1990s CRT terminal. Analyze photos. Decode audio. Interrogate suspects and decide what’s real
[Holonoptic](https://store.steampowered.com/app/4305470/Holonoptic/) - economic simulation and party-based RPG into a story-rich corporate alpine cyberpunk.
[Enarian Online](https://store.steampowered.com/app/4218510/Enarian_Online/) - text based ARPG experience that fuses classic adventure with modern action-packed gameplay
[Soul Diagnosis](https://store.steampowered.com/app/4657690/Soul_Diagnosis/) - dialogue-rich isometric cRPG where you are haunted by your mistakes. Navigate a labyrinthine hospital conspiracy, engage in fisticuffs with inanimate objects, and leverage your fractured psyche to survive.
