Who's presenting?

Kamata by STEMtoto , presented by Neema Iyer

In Kamata, join Nia in a cozy adventure to save the future of her island! Clean up the tropical paradise of Zimzemba by recycling, composting, and uncovering hidden secrets.

Kamata is made by STEMtoto, a game design and research studio co-founded by Neema Iyer, a digital artist, technologist and coach working globally and living in Sydney.

Oraculus by Sophia Westmacott

Oraculus is an interactive murder mystery novel that allows the player to craft their own musical numbers based on the actions they take. It features whimisical and frabjous set pieces, music, characters and more. We'll be hearing from Sophia, the team's  Game Designer, Creative Director, Sound Designer, Composer and Narrative Designer! Harmonica-equipped to boot!

Dungeons of Freeport by Elissa Black

Dungeons of Freeport is a roguelite play-once-a-day text-mode game, in the style of Bulletin Board System door games from the '90s. With randomly generated rooms, a stealth mechanic, and recently implemented graphical UI, the game's looking more and more alike a pencil and paper role-playing game! Elissa will be sharing a playable build of the game on the night.
