Jumplight Odyssey Releases Free Demo For Steam Next Fest

League Of Geeks have released a free demo for Jumplight Odyssey for you to play during Steam Next Fest, running until June 26th.

Indie game developer and publisher League Of Geeks have released a new free demo for Jumplight Odyssey, as the game is officially part of Steam Next Fest. The demo will give you a chance to experience a number of different aspects to the game, as well a a little bit of the storyline behind it, but not too much as to avoid spoilers. The game is currently available to play until June 26th, but we have more info and a few videos for you below if you'd like to read up on it first.

• Take the helm of a Jumplight Starship as it flees its destroyed homeworld and lead your people to their salvation, the fabled Forever Star. Chart a course forward, jump to mysterious new systems, recruit crew members, and build out the ship's interior while avoiding space pirate attacks, black holes, and the relentless pursuit of Admiral Voltan and the warmongering Zutopans in a roguelite colony sim inspired by genre staples and classic 70s sci-fi anime.
• Keep an eye on the starship's evergrowing crew from an Incredible Cross Sections-inspired viewpoint, managing their needs to ensure Hope remains high. Observe deep social interactions as quirky crew members interact with their friends, lovers, and rivals on a daily basis. Witness meaningful, emergent moments as relationships develop, tragedies strike, and danger awaits on a starship stacked with stories.
• Manage the chaos across multiple decks, which can be outfitted with utilities, luxuries, defenses, and resource production chains. Create corridors to design optimal resource chains and build hot tubs to destress and generate camaraderie among crewmates. Build greenrooms onboard to farm needed supplies, and react to threats as electrical storms strike, fires rage, and hull breaches send a crew member or two into the furthest reaches of space.
• Make your escape to the Forever Star by jumping to new systems full of different biomes with unique challenges and resources to harvest. Assign crew members to away missions to survey for resources, send out resource extraction or salvage missions to restock your supplies, and rescue all manner of surprising survivors! Prepare for encounters with aliens, combat against devious space pirates, and showdowns against the Zutopans pursuing the ship's course toward the Forever Star.
• Each interaction and decision plays into the crew's ultimate success, but failure isn't the end. Designed around multiple runs, Jumplight Odyssey encourages captains to learn lessons from previous shortcomings. Retool the ship's layout, prepare for dramatic moments, and race toward the Forever Star once more. Do whatever it takes to keep Hope alive. Rescue civilians on different star clusters, and make Promises to rally the ship's population. But be careful, because every broken Promise runs the risk of dwindling Hope and creating a mutinous, broken crew.
