IndieLand returns for 2023 with a virtual event, showcasing the finest indie games and raising funds for dementia research. The event stretches over a whole week, concluding with a 24-hour, 3-day livestream from October 27 to 29.
Following last week's opening stream, the next highlight on the IndieLand 2023 schedule is the Midweek Special featuring the Super Beard Bros, taking place tomorrow at 1 PM PDT. The main attraction is the IndieLand three-day marathon, commencing at 12 PM PDT on October 27 and continuing until 10 PM PDT on October 29. This livestream will feature a range of special guests, including indie developers and notable gaming influencers such as Tamoor Hussain and Lucy James from Our Website.
IndieLand, organized by Jirard "The Completionist" Khalil and The Open Hand Foundation, has been running since 2018. This charity event supports dementia research and offers streamers the opportunity to set up their own fundraisers to contribute to the cause. If you're interested in donating, you can visit the event's donation page here.
To get a glimpse of what to expect from IndieLand 2023, head over to its Steam page, where you'll find the full list of featured games. Many of these games also offer demos for you to try. During the indie showcase, we can anticipate exciting updates and announcements from developers, who often join the stream. One exciting reveal will come from Evening Star Studio, the team behind Sonic Mania, who will debut gameplay footage of their upcoming platformer, Penny's Big Breakaway, exclusively at IndieLand.
The official streams will be hosted on The Completionist's Twitch channel.
