The impact we have on each other’s eyes can’t be denied, and there are certain games that like to highlight that. The upcoming cozy adventure title MAFATE is proof of that. The game is about a person who gets sent back in time to a real-life location and must use her new abilities to try to make the townspeople happier. Not only is the game unique, but it’s gotten a new demo via Steam Next Fest, as announced by Blue Ridge Games. You can get details on both below:

“The updated demo gives players a chance to experience MAFATE’s relaxed approach to exploration and discovery. The Cirque de Mafate is a real volcanic caldera on Réunion Island with no roads or cars, reachable only on foot or helicopter. In MAFATE, players can explore trails, villages, forests, waterfalls, and towering cliffs inspired by the region while experiencing its Creole culture.

At the heart of the journey is Luna, a young Creole girl mysteriously transformed into a magical camera. Together with the mail carrier, she helps players discover the valley from new perspectives, capturing photographs and even possessing native
animals to reach hidden paths, uncover secrets, and solve environmental puzzles.”
