One more UGE before a summer break?

Join us on Sunday 12 July 2026 for a warm evening of games and talks about tuning in to stranger, queerer, and unexpected realms of experience.

The six works in [untitled games event] edition #7 show us parallax views, skewed angles, hidden layers, and rich new possibilities. “You will be returned home safely, but forever changed.”

Abigail is a breathtakingly beautiful handcrafted adventure about memory, loss, and the way places shape the people who leave them behind. Hedgeborough drops us into a left-behind place, and tells a moving story of community-driven change.

Dykesommar is about rapturous, world-bending change, tackling the precarity of queer legacy and the new worlds we build in the shell of the old.

Slowquest’s “pick-your-path” adventure books upend the world you thought you knew on every page, and with every choice. Designer Apsara Flury of Papertrail navigates videogame cityscapes in search of the perfect anti-perspectival style for her project on street library infrastructures.

And Mystery City Games’ outdoor escape rooms turn the street itself into a playground for speculative pasts.

We can’t wait to see you all and experience these works together.

Featured works in edition #7

Dykesommar, by Zoé "lasticotdelespace" Arcaina

A wild soundclash of styles collide in this experimental RPG, made entirely in Microsoft PowerPoint (!!). We play Marjo, a pure product of the het society but then boom bam pow! by a crazy twist of fate she becomes a lesbian.

Ok but how can she build her new identity when she grew up with a het mindset? And also, how can she become a cool lesbian if she doesn't care about her heritage?

🗣️ Creator Zoé Arcaina will be present for a micro-talk

Abigail, by Hapshapen Games

A narrative-driven adventure about memory, change, and the way places shape the people who leave them behind. Featuring a richly crafted world (made with clay and felt and paper and textile!), a unique evolving folk game, and a deeply personal story.

As you explore Abigail’s tactile hometown, grapple with a past that doesn’t exist anymore, and flickers of a future that doesn’t belong to her. 

Hedgeborough, by Mary Tallontire

An open world game about the city of Hedgeborough, where a newspaper about declining hedgehog numbers kickstarts community action to improve the biodiversity of the urban area, helping to bring the city together to improve public spaces and maybe bring back hedgehogs too.

A game about community conservation, rewilding, speculative urban futures and ultimately... hedgehogs!

🗣️ Creator Mary Tallontire will be present for a micro-talk

SHOWCASE: Bodie H.’s “pick your path” adventures

A mini-showcase of illustrator Bodie H.’s ‘pick your path' adventure stories in the world of Slowquest. These delightful books allow you to make decisions, pretty much on every page, which influence where the story goes. Grumpy goblins, secret dungeons, magic potions, and more!

🗣️ Bodie H. (Slowquest) will be present for a micro-talk

TALK: The Mystery of A Secret Sender, by Mystery City Games

How do you turn a real city into a game world? Join Ben from Mystery City Games for a look behind the scenes of their first historical mystery. In this interactive game design session, we’ll solve problems, learn from mistakes, and weaponise laziness to turn a rough sketch into a finished game (hopefully faster than last time).

TALK: Apsara Flury of Papertrail, on “Free Books!”

Apsara Flury from Papertrail retraces how videogame urbanism inspired her to draw 50 anti-perspectival illustrations for a book about street library infrastructures.

Tell all your friends, bring all your friends.
As ever, we would love to hear your thoughts.

Until the 12th,
