Well, someone raided IndieCade this year and took what they
thought were fun artsy games. Lol, they have You Must Be 18, Infinit-O and The Magic Dance Mirror, all from IndieCade.Slamdance's DIG returns with some surreal VR
games and other strange plays. Hell, they showed of Thumper last year, before
it went big in VR.
