Note: Also of interest is the Vernacular Terrain exhibition ? it includes some interesting Indie ? Art games ? my favorite ? Anita Johnson's CuteXdoom!

Your mission is to become a member of the toy worshipping yumi-co cult and gain access to the exclusive temple-quarter
Also to watch out for:

Gridwerx... I know they won a lot of awards, but what exactly have they done?
Hay I remember reading about Gridwerx. It was in a Hyper a few years back. They made a demo ci-fi FPS/RPG set in a london train station.
They used the same engine as the guys who made tribes vengeance. I think that's what they used any way. Cant remember much of it.
But yeah wtf have they done since then hmm. That was like two three years back.
