CMGT "Return to Dreamland" Showcase
- PLAY
- EXPO
- COLLAB
Seven groups of Saxion students are working together to create games and playful interactions inspired by The Overkillfestival theme: “Return to Dreamland.” Over the course of two months, they have developed projects from scratch—imagining concepts, gameplay, design, and art that reflect the world of dreams, rest, sleep, and nightmares. This year’s games are filled with night and day, dark corners, shadows and light, nighttime companions, bubbly teddy bears, and lurking monsters.
The Showcase is the moment when all students present their games to the public—and invite you to play! As a visitor, you'll get the chance to try every game and vote for your favorite project. Does it reflect the theme? Did you enjoy immersing yourself in its world? How was the interaction with other players? Your opinion matters—the game with the most votes will receive the Sickhouse CMGT Public Award of the Year!
Throughout the day, the Sickhouse team will also select three standout games to be featured in the next edition of The Overkill festival.
At 19:00, each team will take the stage to present their project and share how they developed it together. After all the presentations, we’ll announce the winner of the public award and reveal the selections for The Overkill!
The Showcase takes place at BlackBrick. Everyone is welcome to join, play, and cast their vote. We’ll close the day with a drink to celebrate!
