Valve and Digital Dragons have launched the Indie Celebration 2021 on Steam, providing demos for indie games for a short time.
Digital Dragons had begun the Indie Celebration Competition to aid indie developers in promoting their game during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. Now a jury of game industry “profestionalists” (presumably a combination of professionals and journalists) have selected 60 titles from 250 submissions, with demos available on Steam during May 13th and 14th.
Gamers can partake in a community vote for their favorite game, with the winning developers winning prizes sponsored by AMD. The far from exhaustive list includes Akatori, Atrio: The Dark Wild, Curious Expedition 2, Alan’s Automaton Workshop, Okinawa Rush, A Juggler’s Tale, Dream Engines: Nomad Cities, Hardspace: Shipbreaker, Just Take Your Left, Kingdom Gun, Despot’s Game, Hellpoint, Deepest Chamber, Tetragon, Dandy Ace, Galahad 3093, Paradise Lost, In Sound Mind, Happy Game, Untamed Tactics, Intravenous; and much more!

These include Underrail (specifically the Expedition DLC), Speed Limit, The Hand of Merlin, Bygone Dreams, Ripout, Serious Sam 4, SCUM, Mordhau, I Hate Running Backwards, Pagan: Absent Gods, and more.
