International Games Day 2018: Gaming Schedule

Donut County

(Ben Esposito, 2018) A physics-based puzzle game in which players control an ever-growing hole, which eventually expands to swallow everything (and everyone) on the screen.

Minit

(JW, Kitty, Jukio, and Dom, 2018) A Zelda-like adventure game in which players have just 60 seconds to finish their quest. However, every time players find an item, the game saves their progress, resulting in a fun, recursive narrative with whimsical characters and head-scratching puzzles.

Towerfall

(Matt Makes Games Inc., 2013) Now available for the Nintendo Switch, bringing its gleeful, chaotic, local multiplayer fun to even more players. Experience all of the pixelated, archery action on the big screen!

Hollow Knight

(Team Cherry, 2017) An adventure game set in the mysterious, expansive insect world of Hallownest. With stunning animations, game feel, and a deep, lore-filled narrative, this platformer will appeal to fans of Symphony of the Night, Super Metroid, and Dark Souls.

Into the Breach

(Subset Games, 2018) The follow-up to the brilliant roguelike FTL: Faster Than Light. Skillfully pilot (and sometimes sacrifice) giant, time-travelling robots to save civilization from alien attacks in this thrilling, turn-based, micro-strategy game.

Return of the Obra Dinn

(Lucas Pope, 2018) A monochromatic, first-person, mystery game set in 1807, in which players assume the role of an insurance adjustor investigating the grim fates of the crew of the Obra Dinn, a ship assumed lost at sea.

NYPLarcade is an opportunity to play, watch, and discuss independent, experimental, and thought-provoking games in a library setting. Think of it as a book club, but for video games.
