🎉 LudoNarraCon 2025 begins on May 1 🎉

Our annual celebration of storytelling returns bringing discounts, demos and dev talks including Keep Driving, Promise Mascot Agency, and The Horror at Highrook 🥳

We’re proud to announce that our annual story-focused Steam festival, LudoNaraCon, will return from May 1 - 5  😀📅 

The festival includes heaps of playable demos from some of the most hotly anticipated upcoming narrative titles, discounts across many games in the selection, and a program of in-depth talks with media and game creators - including Lucy James from Friends Per Second who will be hosting a fireside chat with Sam Lake from Remedy Entertainment 🤩

Playable demos and discounts will be offered on a tremendous variety of games until May 8, in addition to the Story-Rich Megabundle - a wallet-friendly way to get 10 amazing narrative games at a massive 87% off!

This is truly a story-rich love affair with plenty of grand games including: 

Our own participating games include the upcoming narrative adventure set in the afterlife - Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo, the magical non-linear adventure Scrabdackle, the 90’s anime-inspired JRPG Wander Stars, and the literal big bang(er) sequel Nirvana Noir. Our recently released games such as Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, Afterlove EP, and 1000xRESIST are also taking part 🥰

For those that would like to get a deeper understanding of these great works of fiction, LudoNarraCon 2025 is offering a packed schedule of main stage content. Across 15 hours, expect five fireside chats, nine panels, and two demo streams.
