Today, the Festival announced its Official Selection, 33 games which will be showcased online and in various events. Some good games in there, includingPowerWash Simulatorand Failbetter’s Mask Of The Rose.

The 2022 London Games Festival will run the 1st-10th of April. The Official Selection will be featured in a showcase at theirTrafalgar Square Exhibition, as well as in an online showcase. Some will have demos available, and apparently some “will release special content” during the festival. A few will be scattered across other LGF-affiliated events, like the Curios exhibition at W.A.S.D, a video games event at some place named Tobacco Dock? Never heard of it. Shouldn’t smoke near games; you’ll gum up your fans with nicotine.
Yer Official Selection lineup this year comes in four categories:
Made In London
International Innovators
Narrative Excellence
Games Are Good For You
Some good games in there. I hope they’re taking advantage of the installation format to create a custom PowerWash Simulator out of a real powerwasher. Hell, just have a couple powerwashers and let people go wild with Nelson’s Column.
