LudoNarraCon, the annual digital festival held by Fellow Traveller that celebrates narrative video games of all sizes and genres, is back on for 2023 over the dates of May 5th – May 9th and this year’s event is another massive one.
In its fifth annual installment, LudoNarraCon is exhibiting 43 games, with 36 playable demos – of which 18 are brand-new to the event – as well as panels and chats with developers including some of the industry’s best with Ron Gilber, Felice Tzehuei Kuan and Scott Chenn.
Keen fans will be able to download playable PC demos for some exciting upcoming titles like Goodbye Volcano High, The Invincible, Harmony: The Fall of Reverie, Loco Motive and Melbourne’s own ambitious Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical – which features the likes of Troy Baker and Laura Bailey and recently got an August 3rd release date.
