To think that I postponed the Dice Gambit demo until now. But I finally played it and I'll have to shill it.
It's now my favourite demo of the entire Next Fest. I'm surprised. But the tactical SRPG combat combined with dice is honestly a really fun way to introduce an RNG element that isn't just your ordinary hit/miss&crit percentages. It's simultaneously more predictable and manageable while undeniably still RNG which introduces an unpredictable element that can force you to react or adapt.

But I also like the choices the game has you make outside of combat. The relationships with the different houses and individuals of the city and the perks and potential benefits that you can unlock and acquire by gaining their favour, that in turn gives you more options in how you build your growing family. Is cool. I like how the paths you take during expeditions will leave you choosing between opportunities to combat for loot, exp, and favour with the different characters. Or other events that can strengthen your different family members or other odd encounters. All while you've got limited energy limiting how many expedition steps and events you can realistically go for in a single expedition, forcing you to make choices.
Even such a simple thing as the region itself of your chosen expedition, affecting the likely events, encounters, and characters you're likely to find. Also ends up giving you choices that are relevant.

And it's fun to build your characters. To choose the different classes and to level them up. Choosing perks and abilities alongside various status options that both raise and lower stats. And then you can fish for suitors and breed your characters and try to optimize these stats.
It's a lot cooler than I expected.
