Thanks for waiting, Parallels loves you (and loves Games - especially Games!)
Parallels 2026 will feature eight creative and unique games and their creators live on stage. Join us for an evening that explores the motivations and nuances behind creative decisions, exclusive behind the scenes intel on how games were made, and most importantly an opportunity to discover a new gem.
Hosted by Ruby Innes and Mark Serrels, this year is about permanence and impermanence. What should stay and what should go? Should anything remain eternal?
