After featuring the first hands-on Epic Loon and the launch version of Hacktag last year, we are proud to announce this year’s Indie Garden gamescom line-up. The Indie Garden is coming to gamescom for the third time with a variety of creative and stunning games, offering exclusive hands-on upcoming indie gems, and including the world premiere of RoboQuest, the first indie game of a world class outsourcing developer working for prestigious studios like Dont Nod. The Indie Garden will also highlight the vibrant award winning rythmic puzzle game oQo, and offer exclusive first look at the 2D cinematic combat-adventure Unto The End.
You can find details about the games below!
