Welcome to our latest roundup of what’s going on in the indie game space. It’s Steam Next Fest week, with literally thousands of demos for upcoming games for us to dive into. I’m trying to check out as many as I can before the event wraps up on Monday. However, I made a near-critical error in my planning: I opted to try the Raccoin demo first. I could and would have happily played that all week.This is a coin-pushing roguelike deckbuilder that adopts the format of Balatro. To progress, you need to earn a certain number of points and the…
