Indie games label Fellow Traveler today announced the dates and exhibitors for LudoNarraCon 2020, a global festival on Steam that celebrates narrative video games. The 2020 festival runs from April 24-27 and showcases games like Telling Lies, Eliza, Heaven’s Vault, Boyfriend Dungeon, Paradise Killer, and Genesis Noir, among others.
Hosted by Fellow Traveler, an independent game label focused on innovative narrative games, LudoNarraCon is a groundbreaking event that replicates many of the aspects of conventions such as PAX or SamaGame Expo, but through a digital format and hosted on the Steam platform.
“It’s free to participate, free to exhibit, has a global reach, and no one has to put on pants.” Chris Wright, Managing Director, Fellow Traveler
Following the successful pilot in May 2019, which saw over 850,000 people visit the central event page on Steam, this year’s event will see a 25% increase in exhibitors, a 66% increase in demos, and a doubling of live panel content. The organizers hope to achieve a bigger turnout with a goal of 1.5 million visitors on the event page for the 2020 event.
During the festival, 30 exhibitors from around the world will stream exclusive behind-the-scenes content and sneak onto their Steam store pages with over 15 exhibitors offering downloadable demos, available only for the duration of the event. There will also be live panel discussions on the main theater stream and a sale featuring over 50 story-rich games.
“We believe digital festivals like LudoNarraCon are the way of the future for indie developers and solve many of the challenges with physical events,” said Chris Wright, Managing Director of Fellow Traveler. “It’s free to participate, free to exhibit, has a global reach, and no one has to put on pants.”
