Featuring an exclusive game from the developers of Kind Words, an album of music and a trove of wallpapers from LudoNarraCon exhibitors
Indie games label Fellow Traveller today revealed new details for this year’s LudoNarraCon, including the full lineup of exhibiting games, details about this year’s speakers, and announced the event’s first-ever Supporter Pack.
Launching on April 23, the first day of LudoNarraCon, the Supporter Pack will be available on Steam for $6.99 USD for a limited time.
The bundle of content includes Cyrano, an exclusive game by Popcannibal, the developer of Kind Words, commissioned by Fellow Traveller especially for LudoNarraCon 2021; a compilation album of music; and a treasure trove of wallpapers.
The Supporter Pack is an exciting new addition to LudoNarraCon 2021, and will give fans an opportunity to show their love and appreciation for indie narrative games, and to help support the event.
The revenue generated by the Supporter Pack will be used to continue to grow LudoNarraCon, which is currently fully funded by Fellow Traveller, and also fund new initiatives that support indie narrative games.
