“GAME” by Joshua Roland is easily one of the most singular games of the year, and you can play it at GIGF26 🕹️ A decade spanning first person narrative game about surviving family pressures while climbing the ranks of a byzantine sport that seems to defy reason 🏠 #GIGF26 #indiegames

“Trans Theft Horso” is bringing its own brand of equine-hearted gender gladness to Glasgow 🌸 A game where you can pet animals, fight admirals, and uncover the mystery of the missing hormones. A feverish wild-west fantasy, in full colour! #GIGF26 #indiegames #glasgowgames #glasgowindiegames
