This year’s festival highlights a diverse range of genres and innovative gameplay,
creative titles like the following will take center stage:
✪ Total Reload
A first-person puzzle game where you control an AI, HAWKING, to reboot the universe.
Navigate a vast mechanism, solve spatial puzzles, and manipulate energy sources using
Quantum Transporters and wires. The narrative, inspired by Portal, explores loneliness
and universal knowledge through unique AI interactions.
✪ Sojourn Past
A 2D pixel action-adventure game blending fast-paced combat with bullet-hell mechanics.
Players explore handcrafted worlds, uncovering secrets and navigating a story of loss
and healing. With stunning visuals and emotional soundtracks, it follows a protagonist’s
journey through grief.
✪ Deep Pixel Melancholy
A visual novel set in a bleak, snowbound city in the 2000s. Egor, a research institute
worker, is trapped in a time loop, questioning escape's worth. Featuring pixel art,
mini-games, and multiple endings, it explores loneliness and meaning.
✪ Ruffy and the Riverside
A charming 3D platformer where Ruffy uses a unique texture-swapping mechanic to solve
puzzles and explore a vibrant, hand-drawn open world. With quirky characters, engaging
side quests, and a nostalgic feel, players save Riverside from the villainous Groll
in a 6-8 hour adventure.
These titles, alongside dozens of other free demos, represent the bold creativity and
