Gorgeous 4X game Songs of Silence has a better demo ahead of even more updates

Songs of Silence is a unique strategy proposition. It's got some 4X and turn-based DNA alongside absolutely gorgeous Art Nouveau visuals, all wrapped up in a card system that helps you control the flow of battle. It's a little Master of Magic and Age of Wonders, but with enough updates to constantly keep you coming back for more. Now, the game's Steam demo has been improved and expanded, and future patches are looking very impressive.
