In the media…

“Daar is een passend sfeertje geschapen voor zo’n evenement:

in een langwerpige hal zijn een tiental kleine huiskamers gebouwd, met bankstellen, zitkussens en uiteraard een brede variëteit aan monitoren en spelcomputers. Ook plezierig voor de deelnemers: het is druk. Bij alle uit te proberen spellen staat een rij proefpersonen.

 

“Hollands glorie in een reeks unieke titels…”

 
 

“…een van de eerste live gameconventies in Nederland

sinds het aanbreken van de pandemie, waar bezoekers kleinere Nederlandse games kunnen proeven voordat ze af zijn. Wat kunnen we zoal verwachten? Een greep.

 

Stay tuned for more Indie Showcase…
