11:36I'm Philip Hartzorn, gaming creator and voice actor, and I'm happy to be here at Women Led
11:40Games because I'm married to the best woman on earth.
11:42And throughout the show, keep an eye out for this logo, because whenever you see it, that
11:48means the game has a demo available as part of our Women Led Games Steam event running
11:54through December 18th.
11:56Before we jump in, a huge thank you to our friends and partners that helped bring this
11:59showcase to reality.
12:00Now, let's dive right into our first segment, a collection of titles that shine for their
12:05addictive mechanics, tight design, and pure, just one more run fun.
12:37Let's go!
13:07I don't know.
13:37I don't know.
14:07I don't know.
21:33What you can't do in one world, you can in the other.
21:37You play as Dodo, a curious duck who teleports far from home.
21:41Silly, clueless, and cute.
21:44He waddles, jumps, and yes, quacks, sometimes to make alien creatures react, sometimes just for fun.
21:52There's also a photo mode, so you can stop anywhere, frame the moment, and capture Dodo.
21:58The world itself feels calm, soft colors, round shapes, gentle music, and creatures that hum quietly in the background.
22:08So come explore, solve, and quack your way through the charming worlds of Dodo Ducky.
22:28Dodo Dodo Dodo Dodo
22:58Welcome to Brave New Wonders,
23:27a factory automation game featuring AI automatons.
23:32Instead of conveyor belts, we command automatons as the primary transport system to build massive factories.
23:39You can use default templates for simple tasks by selecting destinations.
23:44As your workforce grows, you can construct magnificent wonders that offer unique bonuses to your civilization.
23:51You need to solve complex logistical challenges to maintain their operations.
23:56And this is where the AI automatons shine.
23:59You can type text instructions to customize your automated workforce in any way you like.
24:05They can recognize signals and coordinate with each other.
24:09AI will generate a behavior template so you can reuse it next time.
24:14It will automatically identify warehouses and wonders as locations.
24:18Once you select them as destinations from the map, the automatons will carry out your task automatically.
24:26As the needs of your factory grow, you will need to embark on expeditions to the distant unknown.
24:32You will construct massive airships that act as both transport and mobile factories.
24:36As you explore the world, you will discover lost relics from the past and uncover the mystery of the last civilization.
24:45How you use them will shape your own future.
24:47We can't wait for you to uncover the secrets of this world and build a global logistic network to power your amazing wonders.
25:06We can't wait for you to uncover the secrets of this world, but we can't wait for you to uncover the secrets of this world.
25:36Before we continue, we'd like to take a moment to highlight all the creators that inspire, uplift, and energize this community every single day.
26:04So let's hand it over to our partners at 1000DreamsFund to honor a creator whose work inspires players, developers, and especially women in games worldwide.

28:28And here are the nominees.
28:30Thank you so much for joining us.

29:11We are so happy and so proud of you.
29:14Oh my gosh, you are amazing and incredible.
29:18Congratulations, Chell of a Gamer on being named Content Creator of the Year.
29:23And thank you to everyone who nominated these amazing creators.
29:27Now, let's head back to Aaliyah and Phil for the next segment.
29:33From creators who inspire...
29:35To games that terrify!
29:37Let's turn down the lights.
29:39These next titles lead into atmosphere, tension, and the unknown.
29:44Proving that women-led teams are crafting some of the most unsettling and imaginative horror experiences out there.
29:50Oh, I'm scared!
29:52I'm scared!
29:53I'm scared!
29:53I'm scared!
29:54Today, I'm going to talk about my mom's job.
30:10She says it's the best job in the world.
30:24She has friends at work who really care about her.
30:36She's smart. She solves problems.
30:40But the only thing she can't really stand is...
30:46Surprises.
30:54She's smart.
31:10She's smart.
31:14She's smart.
31:48Hi, we're Boba Bros, a studio making short, grounded psychological horror about toxic relationships
31:58and personal boundaries.
32:00In No Means Nothing, you play a young adult who gets 5 days to move out after his abusive
32:04mom pushes him into a parcel job.
32:07Across 3 workdays you are stuck with Radek, a former friend-turned-boss who keeps ignoring
32:12your no and crossing your boundaries.
32:14A pushy friend can be scarier than any ghost or monster.
32:19Moment to moment you scan barcodes, pack and sort boxes, move through quiet corridors and
32:24keep conversations with Radek while trying to get through another shift.
32:28Under the hood, the game tracks how you respond to pressure, whether you give in, stay silent,
32:34say no or let yourself feel anger.
32:36Those values and your small everyday choices at work and at home change how scenes unfold,
32:42how people talk to you and which endings you reach.
32:45The story is rooted in my own experiences, with boundary pushing and harassment and in conversations
32:51with people who stayed too long in unsafe relationships.
32:54I hope players, who see themselves in it, feel less alone and more allowed to live.
33:00If he speaks to you, you can go and play No Means Nothing on Steam.
33:05Hi, I'm Yulia Kozimelko and this is my game You Have Nightmares, a nightmare simulator based
33:13on my own dreams.
33:15In this game, you'll experience familiar dream situations, the apocalypse, returning to
33:19the childhood home, disappearing staircases and losing your voice.
33:24One of the game's features is the engine's wireframe mode, usually hidden from players,
33:30which I use as an expressive tool.
33:33It lets you see the location in a completely different way and find hidden items.
33:39You'll also come across glitches and random events that make each playthrough unique.
33:45The game is very personal to me.
33:47It includes real places I've been to and real items from my life, each with its own story.
33:55Add Yulia's Nightmares to your Steam wishlist.
34:00This annoying event, I know you fit into your site so I must be able to find new
34:08memories, this topic oftenlee, since it's cold, no, but if I was busy going to use
34:13authors in this site.
34:17Here it is.
34:27Carnum is such a friendly town
34:49It's people smile and never frown
34:51Your permanent job is just a friendly call away
34:57Carnum is such a normal place
34:59Where evil never shows its face
35:02Your forever job is just a normal call away
35:06You're permanently hired
35:10Never fired or retired
35:12And whether or not you want to stay
35:15You'll snap and sort your days away
35:17You're totally normal, happy, not dismal
35:19Friendly and formal job is just a call away
35:27Now let's bring the focus back to storytelling
35:31Narrative games let us step into new lives
35:34Feel new emotions
35:34Explore worlds shaped by powerful voices
35:38In this next group you'll find heartfelt journeys
35:40Branching stories and unforgettable characters
35:43Brought to life by some of the most talented women-led teams

36:25Hello, this is my story and I'm the creator of A Happy Morning, I'm an interdisciplinary
36:52artist and this is my first video game. In A Happy Morning you play as a young woman who
36:58is battling her own mind. The game takes place in the very first 30 minutes of the day. All
37:04you need to do is to get up, get dressed and get to work on time. Something that sounds
37:09very simple becomes incredibly heavy when you are struggling with a mood disorder. So
37:15in this game I try to reflect this journey, to reflect this experience. The invisible
37:21weight, the small victories and the quiet resilience and perseverance it takes to get
37:27through your day while you are struggling in the inside. This project, I first approached
37:32it as an animated short film but then as I wanted to have more participation from the
37:39viewer, the best approach was to show it into a game. I hope that players can connect with
37:45this game, maybe recognize pieces of themselves, feel understood and hopefully feel a little bit
37:52more heard and seen.
38:02I hope that players can join with it.
38:03I let go and see them.
38:11I'll see you next time!
38:19Oh, my God.
38:49Bonjour, I'm Charlotte, the CEO and creative director at Cinelab, and I'm so excited to share our debut title with you, The Witch's Bakery.
39:12In this cozy fantasy adventure, you will play as Lynn, a newly graduated witch with a big dream, bringing comfort to the world, one croissant at a time.
39:23By day, you and Lynn will run a busting magical bakery, hauling dough, baking treats, selling customers,
39:30and tuning into their emotion as you balance the everyday chaos of being a small business owner and a heart witch.
39:35But once the flower settles and the counters are waived on, you will step into a fantasy-touch Paris,
39:45making a cast of charming characters, taking on quests and discovering the stories, each filled with warmth, whimsy, and emotion.
39:52At night, with help from the Hebrew Tiki Oreo, you will abide your skills, message friends,
40:09and cook up new recipes and pastries while spending time in your cozy atelier.
40:13As a journey, you will meet characters who acquire more than just croissant.
40:26They will open up, share their struggles, and trust Lynn to help them through kindness, magic, and a little emotional insight.
40:33Exploring the hard palaces, Lynn will learn what weighs on them, and hopefully,
40:42with a little bit of witchcraft and hearty poetry can soothe their soul.
40:46The Witch's Bakery is a story about food, found family, and feelings.
40:50We have lots in store for you.
40:52And we are coming to PC and consoles.
40:54We can't wait to open the doors to the bakery and show you what we are cooking.
40:58You can reach the Witch's Bakery on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox.
41:04Let's see, and don't forget, stay magical, and enjoy the showcase!
41:10Hi, I'm Julia Michetti, and I'm one of the developers of I write games, not tragedies.
41:19I'm the writer of the game, and I also did half of the programming and game design,
41:25along with my wonderful collaborator, Vicky Wolves.
41:28Hi, I'm Vicky.
41:30I'm one of the developers of I write games, not tragedies,
41:34and I'm the artist behind the visuals and UI in this game.
41:38I write games, not tragedies is a visual novel and a vibes-based written game
41:43that explores British, emo, and goth subcultures.
41:50Explore Ash's story and experience his hopes, fears, and deepest, most embarrassing moments.

42:01please check our game out.
42:02Thank you!
42:26You're welcome, I will find it.
42:36You're welcome, buddy.
42:37I love you.
42:38It's good!
42:39Now, before we reach our final segment, we want to celebrate the developers whose work
43:06has stood out across the industry. As part of the Indie Game Awards, we're thrilled to
43:11recognize the nominees for the Women-Led Games Award.
43:14Cabernet by Party for Introverts.
43:17Chemporium by Merge Conflict Studio.
43:19White Knuckle by Dark Machine Games.
43:22Urban Myth Disillusion Center by Hakabubunko.
43:25Spilled by Lente.
43:27Duck Detective the Ghost of Glamping by Happy Broccoli Games.
43:30Now, to close out our showcase, let's appreciate the games that mesmerizes at first glance.
43:35This final batch is all about striking, imaginative, and unforgettable visual identity.
43:42Anissa here from 1TK Games, and this is our new alpha battler, Turnbound.
43:47It's all about synergies, so let me show you one of my favorite combos.
43:51My board revolves around this one rare item, the Death Bloom Cannon.
43:55When this is destroyed, it obliterates your opponent.
43:58The higher its health, the bigger the explosion.
44:01Let's buff this thing.
44:02Enter the Vulture 9000.
44:04Whenever something around it dies, it gives the cannon more health.
44:08So we're surrounded with bait.
44:10Soon, we'll get the big boom.
44:13Alright, alright.
44:15The health is going up.
44:17We have taunt on the cannon.
44:19One more shot.
44:21Boom!
44:21We did it!
44:23All according to plan.
44:25We have new features that let you play against your friends' builds.
44:31And play on the Steam Deck.
44:33Turnbound will be in Early Access on the 22nd of January, 2026.
44:37Play the demo and wishlist now.
44:42Hi, my name is Jade Meadows, and I'd like to talk to you about my game, Blue Ridge Hunting.
44:54Blue Ridge Hunting is a co-opora game set in the Appalachian Mountains.
44:58Solo or with friends, you'll investigate, document, and hunt some of the most infamous
45:03cryptids and folklore legends from the region.
45:06Using a range of tools and equipment, you'll gather evidence, follow clues, and embark on
45:11high-stakes hunts based on real sightings.
45:14But beware, you're not alone out there.
45:16These creatures are always watching and listening.
45:20Be sure to wishlist Blue Ridge Hunting on Steam and follow our upcoming Kickstarter campaign
45:24at BlueRidgeHunting.com
45:33HR's in the building.
45:34It's time for your what mid-quest review.
45:39Gonna make it nice and easy for you, right?
45:41Like it's the first time.
45:42Oh, okay.
45:44All right, numero one, state your name.
45:47Reyna.
45:48Insurance adjuster extraordinaire, am I right?
45:51You're almost energetic.
45:52Yeah.
45:53And you and your party are on a quest to deny a claim.
45:56So here is United Life Group, doesn't have to ping out, you know what I mean?
45:59Find the three ancient a** artifacts and defeat the Vakari.
46:04Or whatever the f**k.
46:05Sure.
46:06Ah, cool, cool, cool, cool.
46:07And you do acknowledge, of course, that Hulk is not liable if in a battle you do take an L and die.
46:12Uh, yeah.
46:14Amaze.
46:15And last cue.
46:17Which of your co-workers, if any, do you want to bone?
46:21Because as HR, I do need to know.
46:24Also, I personally would like to know, you know.
46:26I want to know how and when.
46:28And if I could, uh, be there.
46:30And watch.
46:30Maybe participate.
46:32You can't just ask me that.
46:33What?
46:34Ever.
46:35Reyna.
46:37I'm gonna go send this to the shared holders.
46:39Hi there, I'm Alice, or Sluglove, the solo developer behind REL.
46:52Walked Worlds in Trouble Times.
46:54This game is all about using your creativity to solve puzzles.
46:57Each puzzle can be unlocked or completed in a bunch of different ways,
47:02and everything makes me very open-ended and more focused about creativity and having fun
47:06than a firmly-based solution.
47:08The game is all about using magical spells and combining things in a unique way
47:12in order to solve puzzles.
47:14For example, you could combine a fire and an ice spell and make something water.
47:18You could transform a door into water and just swim straight through it.
47:21It's all about having fun.
47:23It's pretty loose in how it's designed,
47:25which is definitely something I think appeals to me.
47:27I generally try to design games and my own projects around whatever is really fun
47:32and appealing to me, and I think REL is definitely that.
47:35It's just a project that I've had in my head and really wanted to make,
47:39just because I thought the idea behind a lot of these things was really fun to do
47:43and fun to create, and I think that's what drives my development process a lot.
47:46Just whatever's fun.
47:49Hi, I'm Nina, the co-founder and art director of Chromatic Ink.
47:53We recently released our first game as an independent studio, Dice Gambit.
47:58We have three core members who all used to work in AAA,
48:01but after many years of toiling away for someone else, decided to become our own masters.
48:07This is how we ended up far away in the Swedish forest.
48:11Here we have been working on Dice Gambit, a game set in the city of New Talis,
48:15inspired by the Southern European Renaissance,
48:18but mixed with modern technologies and sensibilities.
48:21As a player, you control your own noble family.
48:24Your characters will marry, study, get children and die in service of your cause.
48:29It's like each of your characters get to go through their own little roguelike journey.
48:33The soundtrack was created by our amazing musician Paolo,
48:37who records and remixes traditional Portuguese fado music with modern beats.
48:42If you think this sounds cool, then check out Dice Gambit.
48:45And of course, remember to support other games, which have been created out of passion,
48:50out of the love of the art and with an interest to push the medium forward.
48:55It might not be much, but it's honest work.
49:20It might not be much, but it might not be much, but it might not be much.
49:32And that's a wrap on the game of...
49:33and that's a wrap on the game
