NarraScope Showcase 2025

Designers, developers, writers, and students of narrative games and interactive fiction were 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 culminated in an opening day event at the NarraScope 2025 Conference in Philadelphia, PA on June 20th, 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.

(IFDB does not record all of the showcase entrants.)
