Digital Dissent | Microgames Showcase

Event

Digital Dissent is an interactive showcase of innovative microgames from some of Canberra's best game designers, all exploring the Festival theme of Dissent over two weekends at the National Film and Sound Archive. Come play and experience a collection of brand new games by local designers, custom-made for visitors to interactively explore various takes and perspectives on dissent. You will even be able to meet the developer and discuss their works with them.

Each microgame in Digital Dissent has been commissioned by the Canberra Game Developers Association (CanDev), co-curated with the support of the National Film and Sound Archive's Digital Games Curator and crafted in consultation with some of Canberra's most experience games industry mentors.
