If you missed our very clear desire for the upcoming Gord from developer Covenant.dev, you can find your own desire for it right now as a demo for the game has joined the seemingly millions of others filling up Steam Next Fest. And while that is a clear exaggeration on actual proceedings, our want for this game is not.

Experience the first 2 scenarios of Gord's campaign in this year's Steam Next Fest!

Brace yourself as you step into a land teeming with darkness and challenges. Manage a populace whose personal stories and well-being can decide the fate of your tribe.

As we've already stated, the game is a very The Northman spin on the Frostpunk formula that looks as rich and as inviting as all of those references mentioned, and potentially then some (we're downloading now, so will post up some impressions soon).
