Instead of playing the role of a stalwart space-captain righting the injustices of the universe, Deep Sixed is a love-letter to the Scotty's, Geordi's and O'Brien's who are out there with just a space-wrench and a roll of duct tape trying to keep the radiation scrubber from falling apart. In this game, you take on the role of The Pilot, an incarcerated victim of circumstances who is required to serve her sentence on a deep space probe manufactured by the lowest bidder. With only the ship's AI and a detailed field manual at her disposal, The Pilot must keep her ship operating while completing increasingly challenging mission objectives.

Your ship stays with you from start to finish. If something breaks, it'll stay broken until you figure out how to fix it. Spare parts need to be anticipated and ordered in advance from the holders of your prison contract. Meanwhile, there's a whole universe of procedurally generated mysteries for the ambitious explorer to discover, including a diverse ecosystem of intergalactic fauna with their own predator, prey and scavenger roles to play.

You're broke, you're hungry, and your only friends are a vintage hoverbike and a bowl of ramen noodles.

In Desert Child, you are a young and talented hoverbike racer who needs to figure out how you can scrape enough cash together through racing and odd jobs to punch your one way ticket to the Red Planet to enter the biggest race in the universe, the Grand Prix.

The world as we know it is slowly starting to become inhabitable, and many people on Earth have moved to Mars for a better quality of life, thanks to a government subsidy that assisted in relocating citizens by providing affordable passage. After several years of running this program, the government announces that in two weeks, tickets to Mars would go up in price, making the exodus to the Red Planet unobtainable for regular citizens.

You'll deliver pizzas, collect gun parts, hunt bounties, and make some fans along the way. In between races, you'll explore colorful cities where you can repair and upgrade your bike, dine on the local cuisine, and fight your way through gangsters, bounty hunters, and all sorts of interesting characters, just so that you can have a decent meal and keep your bike running.

Nothing's free in Desert Child.

Dout is a game that explores the issues and stigma behind dates; especially when dates go bad. It gives insight on what someone might experience when they're on a bad date and why it might be so difficult or in some cases, even dangerous to just say "no". The ending of the game is dependant on the choices the player makes and the choices are based on how in control they want to feel by the end of the date and how they want the date to end; this could mean that players may find courage to say "no" or they could find ways to leave the date as neutrally as possible. It has a mixture of serious and humorous tones which help explore a quite serious and important topic.This game isn't just to give awareness to the issues but it's also an experience that people can share and maybe learn from.

Dromenon is a turn-based tactical RPG, which is played one-on-one in online or local multiplayer.
No battle is ever the same! Neither the members of your own army nor the battlefield itself are predictable, which demands new strategies every round.

The challenge of Dromenon is making the best out of a dire situation and planning on the fly. Both your army and the battlefield are rarely foreseeable which offers countless possibilities for new and exciting strategies in order to increase the size of your loyal followers as well as your own mystical powers. While you do choose a hero before the beginning of every match, your army's units are drafted right there on the battlefield as you and your opponent inspire them to join you on the fly and maps are always procedurally generated.

Matches follow a similar structure to most turn-based tactic RPGs, but offer new twists focusing on positioning, movement and exploration, some of them harkening back to the roots of the genre in games like chess.

Welcome to a paradise of sound and life.
Journey to the garden of sound and life, a mysterious and artistic place full of the extraordinary!

Eden Obscura, named after the historic camera obscura, is quite literally "light" entertainment; it uses the camera in your phone to create interactive visual effects while you jump around the screen gathering pollen to grow surreal artistic plants and landscapes in a world that is like no other. Vibrant colors combined with eclectic and sophisticated electronic music take you on an artistic and mind expanding journey, while at the same time it is quite simply a ton of fun to play.

Eden Obscura is a reimagining of the award-winning game PixelJunk Eden for mobile devices, and is once again helmed by international multimedia artist Baiyon, previously featured in the magazine Game Developer as one of 50 people to watch in the games industry.

*Highlights
Liberation from Programmed Visuals
Being mobile, the device can be taken to different places to capture the scenery around you, liberating the player from predetermined visuals that does not change.

*Physics Behavior
Physics behavior was put in into plants, that serve as platforms in the game to express an organic and tranquil waving motion.

*Analog Creation
Eden Obscura expresses an organic feel and a sense of disorder like an ink dropped on a sheet of paper and and watching it flow naturally.

*Visuals that Change Depending on your Surroundings
Stages are created in real-time through contrast of light and movements in the background that are captured through the camera, replicating a kaleidoscope-esque visual.

*Euphoria through Techno/Deep House
Sound is based on techno, specifically a deep house sound. A repetitious rhythm combined with nostalgic melody allures the listener with a distinct euphoria.

Element Valley was born this summer when a coach in personal development and a video game maker met.

Adeline and Anne believe in a poetic and interactive way to help people to break free and model their personal power.
We relied on a matrix which is used by Olympic athletes and we worked hard to create fun, surprising and relevant experiences that also make sens in real life.

The game presents 3 ways to play:
- a gradual journey like a coaching
- a discovery à la carte
- an immersive exploration directly into the landscape to discover all the points of view of the valley.

Element Valley is around 50 "points of view"/ experiments to live.

Spoiler Alert: Whenever you have successfully completed an experiment, you will earn a quote ranging from Rihanna to Abbé Pierre or from Martin Luther King to Walt Disney!

In short, we wrote all the experiments.

And we heard about IGF competition... But it was less than 10 days before the deadline!

So, we just have started the first sketches for design, visuals and code of the game less than 10 days ago (around September 22th 2018). Really, yes!! And as crazy it seems to be, it was a fantastic goal to create as quickly as possible for the Festival.
Unfortunately, the first build did'nt achieve yet. But, it will be ready for our next step in Paris the 19th of October at the IndieCade Europe.

Also, we already got our flying tickets to San Francisco on March 2019 to share the avancement of the game with everyone would like to meet us!
Cause we're going to continue to develop this precious game during the next months and participate at IGF next year with a complete game this time, for sure! ;)

Want to know all about this adventure ? You can follow us and let us know about any comment or question about Element Valley. We will be glad to talk to you ;)

Embedded is a period VR photography game about how the media shapes public perception. In Embedded, the player takes the role of an embedded photojournalist covering American involvement in the Vietnam War. As the player, you ride along with a team of soldiers as they carry out missions and drive from town to town, while you document what you see with your camera. Sometimes you witness refugees fleeing their homes and other times you witness soldiers performing heroic acts. When it's time to report back to your editor, you choose which photos to submit for publication. Your photos are judged based on their sentiment (whether the photos are pro or anti-war) and their quality (the technical merit of the photo according to the rule of thirds). Afterward, you are presented with a newspaper article that has your photos in it. The text of the article reflects the sentiment of your photos and the prestige of the newspaper you're published in reflects the quality of your photos. Embedded gives you the power to change how the narrative of the war is presented in the media. Embedded expresses what it is like to generate and publish news and makes players feel the tension between choosing photos that may be technically better and photos that express their feelings better. Players make choices that ultimately decide how the public will feel: whether they see the war as a necessary and patriotic action or a haphazard and cruel one.

Escape the Omnochronom! is a single player turn based strategy game that combines Roguelike and MOBA elements into something new.

You just got sucked into the Omnochronom (Om-KNOCK-Row-Nom), an ancient, mysterious device. Inside the device are mechanical minions, strange characters and spirits trapped there for eternity. Some say that the Omnochronom gives its owner eternal life by sapping all the energy from those captured. Some say it's simply a twisted prison invented by an evil god. Whatever the case, you know you can't stay here long.

There's a huge exit door up top. All you need to do is get one of these Key Minions up to the top before you're completely destroyed.

You can find weapons, tools, and other treasures left behind by others who have been trapped here before you. Because of a strange temporal quality of the Omnochronom, you can also find things left behind from people captured *after* you, as well. And you'll need everything you can get your hands on, because there are eight different horrifying Guardians, who power up minions, throw you around, destroy your base, and worse.

Collect special cards that power you up and give you access to new abilities. Unlock new playable characters that each have their own unique playstyle. Discover the secrets of the procedurally generated Omnochronom. Purchase randomly generated items, use tactical abilities, power up, and push the lanes.

With any luck, you just might be able to ESCAPE THE OMNOCHRONOM!

When the night strikes eight o'clock in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, the suspenseful drama begins to unfold in real time— leading up to a suspenseful murder. Inspired by Hitchcock's anxiety driven storytelling, from the moment Fire Escape's action begins, audiences will have free range to seamlessly select apartments, spy close-up and hear the the intimate conversations of the residents—the dilemma becomes—who do you watch—and what does this tell you.

GOMP! An exciting arcade-style shooter.

Extraterrestri-AL (Al for short), and his pet Flog, Florp, live alone on plentiful planet B.Gon. Planet B.Gon has a number of desirable natural resources; it's rich soil, breathable atmosphere, tremendous size, and bountiful sources of clean, fresh flowing water, make it an ideal planet for sustaining human life. Planet B.Gon is indeed the perfect place for humans to colonize and transform into their "New Earth".

BUT NOT IF AL CAN STOP IT!

Unfortunately for Al and Florp, every 100 years, for one month only, planet B.Gon becomes visible to Earth. One week ago, Al found an alien pod with an unusual symbol on it crashed on his planet! He also spotted several crafts with identical symbols flying in the nearby atmosphere.

The pod was filled with what looked to be a variety of diabolical doodads and nonsensical things. Al suspected that those strange ships circling in the (now not-so-distant) distance may be planning an invasion!

So what is Al and Florp to do?

Al decided he must fight to defend his planet from these -- foreign intruders! So he armed himself with all the phasers, blasters, zappers, lasers, rockets, and bombs he could find. He also stocked his ship with all of
his favorite galactic goodies; after all, proper nourishment is a must for Al, especially during warfare.

Al even placed signs up that he believed the "beings" would understand, hoping to thwart the strangers from
trespassing on his precious planet B.Gon. But to his dismay, the warnings didn't work... so he plopped his plump alien rump down in his comfy, favorite rocking rocket-er, and, fully loaded, awaited the unwelcome arrival.
