The Experimental Games Showcase team goes through over a hundred submissions every year to narrow down the dozen you see onstage at GDC. It’s a HARD choice. If you want to see some of the games we couldn’t fit into the showcase, this reel features a handful of some of our favorite submissions!

We just posted the games reel from this year's session on our brand new YouTube channel! It features clips from the showcased games, along with some standout submissions from the many we received last year. Watch it here: youtu.be/5Y-BezGV6mU
