We're happy to present you, dear liker, the selection of games for Yonderplay 2019!
The goal of Yonderplay is to highlight game gems, to point out projects that explore the borderlands of playfulness. This year, we return with a selection of games that showcase the diversity and potential of the medium of video games. This collection of games is necessarily eclectic and, trust me, we had a lot of intense discussions during the selection process. Every one of the games we selected is special in its own right – every single one is created with love for video games, and the will to explore new ways of playing. Every game we selected is an experiment and a work in progress.
Our goal is not to select the best games, the most beautiful games, or the games with the highest market potential. Our goal with Yonderplay is to tell what games can be too. That they can deal with Alzheimer’s (Forgotten), or be full of personality (Elk). That games do not have to be winnable (Paly), can be ruthlessly clever (Altered) and exhilaratingly unpredictable (King of Peasants). That games can tell stories of mysterious but recognisable worlds (Waybinder), decrepitude (Komako) and comic logic (Bububum). Oh and our goal is also to let you play a horse in a horsepital (Saint Hazel’s Horsepital).
Yonderplay will be hosted at Nordic Game 2019 on Friday, May 24th.
