Nvidia released a free Steam demo that lets you virtually unbox and install a GeForce 8800 GTX in a 2006 bedroom. It’s called GeForce 8800 GTX – 20 Years of a Legend, made by Dylan Browne with Nvidia support. You get path tracing, DLSS 4.5, and a CRT-era room complete with Crysis on the desk. It needs at least an RTX 4070 (RTX 5080 recommended). Timing is interesting given current GPU prices.

A free Steam demo for the 1998 Tokyo Lo-Fi psychological suspense adventure Rain98 is now available. The demo runs about three hours and covers the start of the story through the first half of Chapter 2. Players get novel sections, interactions with the heroine Reina Amehara, exploration of rainy 1998 Shibuya, and mini-games. Mamiko Noto has been added as the voice of Kyoko Yose. The full game is expected to run 10–15 hours, and a future update will add the rest of Chapter 2. Three hours from the opening is a longer demo than most indie ADV titles put out. It shows the apartment life and city exploration before the full release.
