IGROPROM Showcases 2025
The main activity at the IGROPROM festival, which will take place from September 19-21, will of course be the demonstration of games. The organizers even plan to have a "Playtest Zone," where 12 development teams can showcase their game for free for 2 hours (as well as talk about it, distribute flyers, hold contests, and generally engage in any activity to attract attention to the project) to visitors.
However, the largest (or most promising) projects will be showcased at booths throughout the exhibition. Below, you can see the descriptions of the presented showcases.
