CONGRUENCE 
by Marius Parisod

"Congruence" is an immersive 3D escape game, where players must solve a series of diverse puzzles within a visually striking cube-like world illuminated by neon lights. Each puzzle room unlocks a new door, leading players closer to an unexpected golden trophy that challenges traditional notions of gaming rewards.

PHISUS 
by Théo Déchanez & Odran Jobin

Phisus is an interactive narrative experience in which you embody a liquid life-form wandering among the ruins left by advanced humans. The temple’s structures narrate the drive to madness of a cult trying to retrieve a sense of nature in a deserted world.

WISH I WAS HERE 
by Isaïa Delaplace & Viktor Gagné

Through this interactive experience, the player takes on the role of a child who has died prematurely, forced to bear witness to the pain experienced by the rest of his family during the grieving process, while at the same time being confronted with his own relationship with death.
