NarraScope 2025 Showcase
Calling all narrative game makers!
Designers, developers, writers, and students of narrative games and interactive fiction are invited to submit digital game projects to the first ever NarraScope Showcase. The Showcase celebrates the best in narrative game design and interactive fiction, and will culminate in an opening day event at the NarraScope 2025 Conference in Philadelphia, PA from June 20th - June 22nd, 2025.
NarraScope hopes to encourage the exploration and proliferation of narrative games and interactive fiction as a form through this event. The Showcase, much like the NarraScope Talks and Papers, intends to focus on freedom and creativity in the field of digital narrative game design and development. All genres, styles, and formats of games are welcome, including those which are experimental in nature or defy traditional classification.
