Hand-selected for participation by a renowned international jury, this year’s SwissGames delegation showcases the range and depth of Switzerland’s game development talent. A wide range of titles will be available for press to try out during GDC 2023 at the dedicated SwissGames booth on the showfloor, covering multiple platforms from PC and consoles to mobile devices and VR headsets across popular genres like wholesome city-builders to co-op action roguelikes.

Let your inner paleo-architect loose and design a city on top of a giant, wandering creature in The Wandering Village from Stray Fawn Studio. Dive into the complicated history of mental illness treatments in Zeitglas’ Sanatorium - A Mental Asylum Simulator. Head to the fantastical world of Zelda-like Wéko the Mask Gatherer and enjoy thrilling combat and exploration while hunting down the seven primordial masks. And for those who are tired of mainstream genres and are looking for something unique, there will be an appearance from the most eccentric, with natsha’s bathtub mystery horror simulator Psychotic Bathtub - The Story of an Escalating Mind. And Ducks.
