LudoNarraCon is still happening and just announced their list of over 50 featured games.
As the coronavirus pandemic shuts down in-person game conventions like E3, a virtual convention like LudoNarraCon continues completely unchanged. Nobody was going to wear their pants to this convention in the first place since it’s entirely virtual: just wake up, log in, and tune in to some great indie games.
For the uninitiated, LudoNarroCon is a digital convention held on Steam. There will be a showcase on the Steam storefront that will lead to over 50 exhibitors displaying their games in streaming presentations, livestream Q&A sessions, or discussion panels.
LudoNarroCon recently announced their lineup of over 50 indie games, which are far too many to go into so I’m not going to bother. But I will take a few of them to show you what’s in store.
First, we have An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs, a comedic exploration adventure game from Strange Scaffold. The game is pretty much as described in the title–you’re a human in an alien airport that is run by dogs. You can read the language, but the dogs can help you get around because they all speak English.
They’re also not so much dogs but real-life pictures of dogs that have been placed in the game. You can still pet them, though.
Next is Coffee Talk from Toge Productions. You play as a barista in a fantasy Seattle filled with orcs, elves, dwarves, demons, and various other folks. And all they want to do is drink some coffee and unwind. Coffee Talk is a talking simulator with light cooking elements–you still have to brew a cappuccino, after all.
Finally, we have Sunless Skies from Failbetter Games. The pseudo-sequel to Sunless Sea, you play as the captain of an intergalactic steam engine. Sci-fi steampunk gothic horror with huge Lovecraftian inspiration is the name of this top-down RPG that reminds you that space is full of hidden terrors best left unexplored.
LudoNarraCon runs from April 24 to April 27. No pants required.
