Fallbearers stands out in Steam Next Fest

Steam Next Fest is packed with demos, and a lot of them appear to be built with AI tools, which is making it harder for players to find something worth trying. Some people are sharing recommendation lists and browser filters to cut through the noise.

One game standing out is Fallbearers, a demo that mixes the feel of QWOP with the physical comedy of a coffin-carrying sketch. The game puts players in control of two Victorian pallbearers trying to move a body from a hearse to a grave.

The pallbearers move on their own, but players control speed, jumping, and how high they hold the coffin. That matters because the routes include manholes, hills, and even a bulldog. The demo is very short, but it sounds like it is especially funny in two-player mode.

The full game is planned to include more terrain, including snowy stages that require skis. There is no release date yet.
