Kaboom Games

720 min.

Animation has the power to transport you to other worlds and realities. By adding the element of interactivity, games allow you to actually live in those worlds and to experience things you could never experience as your fleshy human self! Who needs reality, when you've got a console and a sense of adventure? This year at Kaboom, there are plenty of experiences for n00bs and l33ts alike! Play as tiny garden gnome of porcelain exploring a witch's B&B. Join a detective in peculiar town. Relive the last hours of a young woman who disappeared (was she abducted by aliens?!)? And way more! For the more chillax gamer, we have some cosy and zen puzzle games (so wholesome!). Oh, and for the nostalgics amongst you, there's an oldie but a goldie: interact with your Little Computer Person in a classic C64 game! Whichever game you chose, we're sure you'll want to press "Play again" by the end of it.
