There are always a bunch of demos that go live whenever Steam holds its Steam Next Fest celebration, and this time Bustafellows Season 2 is included.
Bustafellows Season 2 is the sequel to the mystery otome game Bustafellows, which we discussed back in 2023. Despite their use of “season” in the title, each is a full game.
I enjoyed Bustafellows enough to pick up the sequel, so I probably won’t play the demo.
After all, despite being called a “gameplay demo,” it’s a visual novel. A demo would only give a sample of the story and characters, and I already know I like the characters enough to see more of them. As for the story, while that was my biggest criticism of the original, a demo won’t be enough to draw any conclusions.
Bustafellows 2 is due out later this year. Although no release date has been given yet, its listing at VGP says it will be out on July 17.
(Meanwhile, I keep getting confused because DesperaDrops, another crime-focused otome that reminds me of Bustafellows, comes out on March 6.)
This year hasn’t been quite as packed with anticipated games for me as the past few years have been, but I still feel like all of these release dates are sneaking up on me and my slow backlog progress! It’s better than a lack of games, though!
Are you planning to try the Bustafellows 2 demo?
