In a few short days, thousands of gamers will descend upon Boston, Massachusetts for PAX East 2018. In years past we have helped Unreal Engine developers show off their projects at the Indie MEGABOOTH. This year we’re continuing that support with an amazing lineup of games on display during PAX.
CLOSE TO THE SUN
BY STORM IN A TEACUP
Close to the Sun is a horror game that takes place at the end of the 19th century on a mysterious ship complex created by Nikola Tesla for the sake of knowledge. In this alternative version of history, his scientific breakthroughs have already had a major impact on the world. You’re Rose, a young journalist looking for your sister and, as you approach this enormous and glorious complex for the first time, you quickly realize that something there has definitely gone wrong…

GOLEM GATES
BY LASER GUIDED GAMES
Golem Gates blends elements of real-time strategy (RTS), multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA), and card battle. Players collect spell cards (called Glyphs) and strategically weave them into a deck as they prepare for battle.

With a single player campaign and various competitive and cooperative online modes, Golem Gates is now available on Steam.
