Austrian Game History Area

This interactive exhibition on the history of digital games from Austria is the point of departure for the varied presentations at the trade fair. It makes the historical context experienceable and allows the public to see which developments in hardware and software have played out over the last twenty-five years. It thus furthers the desire to leap into the present and future of games made in Austria.

Broken Rules

Since 2009, Broken Rules has been developing unusual computer games which captivate with their unique artistic style and with themes that go far beyond common game clichés. In the current project Old Man’s Journey, for example, players experience the moving life story of an elderly man. The team working with Felix Bohatsch, Clemens Scott, Jan Hackl, Peter Vorlaufer, and Martin Pichlmair has won many international prizes with its games, which have been released on iOS, PC, Nintendo, and Android platforms.
