At this year's Tribeca Fest, we played games about psychic babies, demonic skateboarders, and dark web Twitch streamers.
This story is part of our Summer Gaming Marathon series. Usually after an event as busy as Summer Game Fest, I’d crawl into my bed and sleep for a week straight before thinking about another video game. I didn’t have that luxury this year. As soon as I returned home to New York City, I was eager to head over to Tribeca Fest to see even more games. While the media festival is most known for films, it expanded into video games over the past few years that appear as official selections.
Recommended Videos Goodnight Universe Goodnight Universe won this year’s Tribeca Games Award, and I could immediately see why as soon as I played it. The unique project comes from Nice Dream, the studio behind the fantastic and innovative Before Your Eyes. That game used eye-tracking technology that let players control its story just by blinking. Its follow-up continues that trend but goes even further. Goodnight Universe stars an infant named Isaac who realizes he possesses psychic powers.
Neva In 2018, developer Nomada Studio made a name for itself with Gris. The atmospheric platformer was most notable for its watercolor art style that immediately turned heads as soon as it was revealed. The studio’s next game, Neva, doesn’t just build on that art style but it expands its gameplay too. This time, players control a woman running through a corrupted landscape with a wolf cub. Together, they work to rid caves and forests of black sludge and monsters.
Blue Prince Blue Prince has been on my radar ever since I played it at this year’s Game Developers Conference, and my anticipation has only grown coming out of Tribeca Fest. The setup here is that players inherit a dead family member’s mysterious estate; however, they can only finalize the deal by finding its secret room. To do so, players move through a unique roguelite structure where they need to draw rooms like cards and place them on a board, allowing them to then navigate them.
