Подведение итогов PAX East 2022
In what felt like the blink of an eye Pax East 2022 is over, and WOW HOW WE MISSED SEEING EVERYONE AT CONVENTIONS!
When we weren’t getting our underground sticker operations shut down by the authorities (no seriously), exploring the sights and sounds of Boston or recording our very first LIVE PAX PANEL, we were delivering our hottest upcoming indie releases to the masses and press, and getting that all important feedback!
We’ve collected a fine sample of the awards and previews that were taken away from the show as people got their hands (and paws!) on our games!
The Last Worker
The Last Worker debuted in public for the very first time at this years PAX – and players got to explore the induction tour of JFC-01 firsthand!
Marooners Rock even enjoyed the experience so much they opted to give it their Game Of The Show Award!
But what did everyone else think about our story of dystopian delivery? Here’s what the press had to say about their play sessions, and links to the rest of the articles.

Lumote: Хроники Мастермота
The first day of PAX was made extra special for us, as it was also the day that we finally released our squishiest game yet! Lumote: The Mastermote Chronicles was introduced to attendees to get a taste of the Great Depths for themselves on their quest to take on the Mastermote!
One lucky event attendee even got to take home a Lumote of their very own in one of our competitions at the booth – be sure to take care of our squishy friend for us!

Martha Is Dead
Last but not least, the Tuscan thrills of Martha Is Dead were brought to Boston for those that hadn’t already taken a look at LKA’s latest masterpiece.
Released back in February – Giulia’s wartime story of loss and mystery has already gathered appreciation worldwide, and the queues for Martha were full at our booth over the entire show (apologies to our booth neighbours at the event too, there were more than a few screams from the Martha players along the way)
We also gave away one of our bespoke Martha Is Dead vinyl players in a competition during the event to one of the players brave enough to play the game, perfect for playing the Martha soundtrack when it releases later this year on Triple Vinyl #JustSayinglittlebitofpropagandathereforyou
If you’ve somehow missed out on the existence of Martha, and how the world reacted to it, you can catch the accolades trailer over on #WiredLive
And of course, find space on your wishlist and listen to Giulia’s tale yourself…
Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth during the event, it was a pleasure to meet you all and give you a taste of our upcoming releases, be sure to tell all the developers on our socials what you liked most about what you played – and keep your eyes peeled on #WiredLive for the hottest indie game content!
