Higher Plain Games’ demo disc series returns for its first episode of 2026. I’ve racked up a lot of demos I need to plough through over December, when the series was on pause for Christmas rest. Now we’re in full force to explore in (mostly) 2 minutes or less what my initial impressions are of upcoming indie games.
I only play a demo for up to 15-20 minutes maximum, otherwise I’ll never go to sleep! I’ll also tell you which games I’ve personally wishlisted to pick up in the future. I hope this helps you find some new games to enjoy.
