There's only a few hours left of Steam Next Fest, but there's still time to try out the best demo I played this weekend - My Dream Setup.

There's no timer, no budget to stick to, no story, and barely any restrictions - you can place as much furniture in whatever formation you want. You can also listen to your favorite playlist whilst you design with
