GLiD is a single player ambient exploration game. You play as a small robot tasked with exploring and restoring an abandoned world. Traverse the environment skillfully using your spider web and wings in order to collect enough fuel seeds to power up and fix the broken machines.
With tons of games entered, it was hard choosing, but here are the 10 finalists which will be showcasing at Develop in Brighton.
Delegates to the conference will be able to play all ten games on 20 and 21 July in the Indie Showcase area situated within the Expo. The winning game as chosen by the judges will be announced at 1.30pm on Thursday 21 July.
There will also be the chance for all attendees to vote for their favourite Showcase game in the People’s Choice Award – voting slips to be provided and awards presented to the winning developer in a ceremony closing the conference at 5pm on the Thursday.
