LudoNarraCon is an online-only convention that takes place entirely through Steam, and there are some excellent deals and demo opportunities going down as part of it. Though it’s really focused on livestreams, panels, upcoming games and new releases, LudoNarraCon is on Steam for a reason: That’s where you can get the games. The event is based around more emotional, narrative games: Thrillers, narrative strategy, life sims, dating sims, and detective games. Games with a more sedate pace that don’t necessarily fit in a convention hall, as one of the organizers told us recently. You can check out everything going on for LudoNarraCon 2020 on this Steam page. 

 Here are some good free games to try: 

And here are some great deals:
