Crime O'Clock's mind-bending investigative game takes 1st place in Helsinki
After three years it was finally time for our second home in Helsinki for Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki. Of course, this also meant the return of the Very Big Indie Pitch. The Very Big Indie Pitch is our bumper edition competition where even more developers are able to pitch an ever-increasing range of brand new and diverse gaming experiences from some of the most exciting indie developers, not only from across the globe.
For those not in the know, The Big Indie Pitch is a regular event run by the makers of PCGamesInsider.biz. It gives indie developers the chance to pitch their games to industry experts and journalists in a speed-dating-style format. Teams get the opportunity to get valuable feedback on their games, as well as win great prizes such as promotional packages and opportunities to promote their game.
As always, the developers gave it everything they had in order to walk away as the winner. An award that was eventually bestowed upon Bad Seed's Crime O'Clock. Though it is certainly worth highlighting how well received our runner-ups Lempo and Mineral Madness were. Want to know more? Well luckily, you can learn more about all three games right here.
1st Place - Crime O'Clock by Bad Seed
Crime waits for nobody in Crime O'Clock. As players must prevent crimes before they even occur in this investigation and time exploration game with an immersive and engrossing narrative. Utilising multiple time eras alongside point-and-click narrative-focused gameplay, players must step into the shoes of a Time Detective, before exploring crime through the lens of time.
As you might imagine, given the time element, these crimes range from the classic to the extremely modern and include hacking, murder, theft, and much more.
