YES, THIS IS NEWS ABOUT YET MORE DEMOS IN NEXT FEST. WE’RE AWARE YOU’VE ALREADY HAD A MILLION PRESS RELEASES ALREADY, BUT THESE GAMES ARE GENUINELY BRILLIANT.

Glory On Pluto and Dupery: A Game Of Solo Deduction receive substantial new demo updatesahead of Steam Next Fest

June 5^th 2026, Bristol, UK

Yogscast Games has today announced that major new demos for both Glory On Pluto and Dupery: A Game of Solo Deduction will be available during the imminent Steam Next Fest – though eager players can check them out right now.

While both games have previously offered players a taste of what lies ahead, these significantly expanded and overhauled demos showcase just how far development has progressed, introducing new features, content, mechanics and systems which give players a much deeper look at two brilliantly inventive upcoming releases.

Glory On Pluto continues its mission to answer an important question: how many carrots, acorns and anvils would it take to get to Pluto?Players can find out themselves by building fuel synergies, hiring crew, upgrading their ship and managing an unstable engine in hopes of bringing prestige back to a fallen humanity.

The expanded demo offers players greater access to the game's wonderfully chaotic engine-building systems. Players construct circular engines from fuels, crew and modifiers, creating intricate chains of interactions that constantly evolve as the engine rotates after every boost. Careful planning is encouraged, but glorious accidents often prove just as effective.

Check out chaos and carrots in this demo video featuring a pulsing 8-bit soundtrack, arriving fresh from a time when there weren't 40 games released every week:

Meanwhile, Dupery: A Game of Solo Deduction takes the tension and satisfaction of social deduction games into a thrilling single-player experience. Players investigate procedurally-generated cases, interrogate suspects, identify contradictions and gradually uncover the hidden structure of a criminal syndicate where not everyone is telling the truth.

The updated demo expands the investigation experience considerably, allowing aspiring detectives to tackle more complex cases while experimenting with the game's unique blend of logical deduction, role identification and risk-reward decision making. Every clue matters, every statement could be a lie, and every incorrect accusation carries consequences.

Here's the latest trailer for Dupery: A Game of Solo Deduction, with a melting noir soundtrack that soothes and moves you like a warm blanket:

"Steam Next Fest is all about discovering games that feel genuinely different," says Simon Byron, Managing Director of Yogscast Games. "We've got one game that makes players feel like detective geniuses and another that encourages them to strap increasingly questionable components to a rocket and hope for the best. They're very different experiences, but both have that wonderful quality where players immediately start telling stories about what happened during their runs. I know there are too many demos in Next Fest. But these are two that are genuinely worth your attention."

The new demos for Dupery: A Game of Solo Deduction and Glory On Pluto are available now ahead of Steam Next Fest running June 15^th – 22^nd.
