Publishers and developers wishingto participate in the Indie Celebration can submit their title via the online form here. Registration will be open from 20-26 April and a handpicked jury of industry professionals and experienced gaming journalists will select the games to participate in the event, including:

• Robert Purchese – Eurogamer

Re-release of 1996 shareware side-scroller Inner Worlds?:

It was released as freeware at some point. Looking at system requirements (64bit OS only?), wonder if this is an updated version they have mused about then than a mere DOS box bundle.

One of these days, we'll update the game to work with Win 2000/NT/ME, Linux and Mac, but until then, those are your only options. Sorry!

It seems the developer still exists as a development service company.

The game was abandoned by the devs.

Tell me more. I translated their store pages to Swedish. All they had to do was copy/paste, but they messed it up with one word.

[Life of the Party]

Spoiler

You wake up one morning to find that you are rather inconveniently transforming into a tiny bug, while your friend Joseph is being arrested for reasons unknown.

To save him and to find the answers you seek, you must embark on a journey through a world which, like yourself, has become twisted and unfamiliar.

What once seemed like mundane dwellings have become an expansive obstacle course, and now you’ll have to chart your path through the dingy nooks and crannies that exist within the cracks of civilization.

Use your wits to unravel the truth, and regain the life you once knew.

• A bug's perspective in first person - experience the world in a whole new way
  
• Challenging environmental puzzles - parkour, wall climb, search for clues, and overcome obstacles
  
• Unique movement mechanics - make full use of your tiny body and sticky limbs
  
• A story inspired by Kafka’s imagination - meet eccentric characters in a hand-painted world, as you journey through surrealist landscapes towards The Tower

 

[Zombra]

Wow. I wonder what Kafka would say.

Survival horror set in the Battle of Verdun:

CONSCRIPT is an upcoming survival horror game inspired by classics of the genre - set in 1916 during the Great War. CONSCRIPT will blend all the punishing mechanics of older horror games into a cohesive, tense, and unique experience.

In CONSCRIPT, you play as a French soldier searching for his missing-in-action brother during the Battle of Verdun. Will you be able to search twisted trenches, navigate overrun forts, and cross no-mans-land to find him, and ensure a home goes unbroken?

• Experience classic and methodical survival horror gameplay in a unique historical setting: the Battle of Verdun.
  
• Fend off enemy soldiers and disturbing psychological manifestations with a variety of melee weapons and firearms.
  
• Navigate intricate level design that promotes item management and route planning, whilst solving complex environmental puzzles.
  
• Survive in an intense, harrowing atmosphere boosted by a unique pixel art aesthetic and oppressive sound design.
  
• Three distinct areas that intertwine and overlap.
  
• Highly re-playable with multiple difficulty settings, alternate scenarios and bonus weapons.
