Don’t Forget to Check Out LudoNarraCon!
Another year, another LudoNarraCon. Come check it out before it ends on April 26!
It’s that time of year again and LudoNarraCon has returned! The things that happen the one time you decide to sleep in eh? LudoNarraCon, organized by Fellow Traveler, focuses on showcasing narrative video games both released and upcoming that gamers might not have heard before. While giving those that have been looking forward to certain games some behind the scenes content from developers participating. Not only will developers have livestreams for Q&As, showing off behind the scenes stuff, and panels, but there will be discounts and demos for everyone to try out.
This is continuing until April 26 so check it out before then, especially if you’re intending to check out the demos. Remember, even if you already downloaded the demo, you most likely won’t be able to still play it if it gets removed after the event ends. So make sure you play them ASAP!
You can also contribute by purchasing their Supporter Pack (which is about $7) which will grant you a music album, wallpapers, and an exclusive game called Cyrano (by the developers behind Kind Words) which is an adaptation of a stage play. It looks like this will be available for about a month after LudoNarraCon before it gets taken down.
