Did someone try Dark and Darker?
Not my type of game, but I might try it when Guido gets out of bed.
Here are some game demos I tried this morning.
Fast-paced trade simulation game with RPG elements. Choose your character, buy goods and wander around the medieval Bohemia to make profit. Don't forget to recruit some manpower to keep you safe along the way!

A fairly simple trading game. You are a merchant and you travel from town to town trying to buy low in one place and sell high in another. You also have to decide whether to bring along guards, which are expensive. There are quite a few events that you run into on the road which give you more things to decide.
I actually couldn't get selling to work. I could make a huge profit in a couple of towns, but the slider to determine how much I wanted to sell wouldn't budge. I only managed to sell one thing the entire time I played. I left a message on the forum to find out if I was doing something wrong or if it's a bug. If someone gets back to me, I'll update this. Could be a fun little game.
A story driven medieval fantasy adventure inspired by oldschool RPGs of the past. Explore a sprawling open world, converse with its many inhabitants, fight its varied monsters and unravel the story of Rothar Aercrest – the cursed lord to the remote woodlands of Imberthale.

Third person RPG with a lot of narrative and a choices matter feeling to it. You begin, as always, by creating your character. After selecting your character's looks and name, you choose your base skills, like archery, alchemy, etc.
Even though the perspective is practically over-the-shoulder, you have to click on the ground to move, which I don't particularly like. It felt a bit clunky. I only played the beginning where you have to settle an argument among a group of lords who are visiting your home. It was pretty well done. I didn't do any combat, so I'm not sure how that goes. Looks like action combat from the trailer.
The Last Plague: Blight is an authentic survival experience rooted in realism and immersion. Endure the hazards of a brutal open world and uncover the origins of a mysterious disease. You are humanity’s final hope in ending the Blight

Third person isometric survival game where I was the last hope for humanity to cure the plague until I was eaten by a bear. So long humanity.
Game is well done, but I'm not sure what I was supposed to do about the bear at that point in the game. I couldn't outrun him, and the only weapon I had was the starter axe, which was basically useless. After I died, it asked me if I wanted to load the last save. The game saves constantly, so there's a very good chance I was going to be in the middle of being chased by a bear, but I didn't load the save. I was tired of looking for "Long Sticks" anyway. Seems like you should be able to craft Long Sticks from branches, but that only gives you normal sticks, which is why I was wandering around and found the bear.
To be honest, I was more like a caveman than a plague researcher. I'm sure there's someone else out there who can handle the plague now that I've moved on to the afterlife.
