Red Stage NGDC victory in Kajaani

Red Stage, Skábma

For a third consecutive season, the Northern Game Summit hosted the Nordic Game Discovery Contest on 5 October in Kajaani, Finland.

This year’s three competitors battled for the qualifier win in a packed auditorium at the NGS, with the audience enthusiastically cheering the contestants along.

All three studios made a great impression, but it was Finnish Red Stage Entertainment with their game Skábma – Polar Night that took the evening’s prize – a spot in the NGDC Grand Finals at NG19 next May, as well as PR services from Plan of Attack and Mail.ru.

Based on Sámi mythology, Skábma – Polar Night follows the journey of the young Áilu, as the child treks through Sámiland and the spirit Worlds to restore balance between light and dark.

Congratulations to Red Stage Entertainment and see you at the NGDC finals next year!

A big thanks as well to the organisers of the Northern Game Summit for another great event, and for welcoming the NGDC back to Kajaani.

About the Nordic Game Discovery Contest
In 2016, building on fourteen years of running major successful events in the games industry, including several live-pitching events, selection processes and support systems, Nordic Game created the Nordic Game Discovery Contest (NGDC) – an exciting, competitive challenge, where selected game projects are showcased at live-pitch events in several countries.
