Our editorial team had the honor of visiting the third edition of the virtual fair Endix (Entertaining Digitized Expo) as part of an exclusive press tour last night. This fair is completely free and is designed as an event for those who cannot travel to various global video game fairs.
The tour was led by a member of the Endix team Nikos "Korregart" Perifanis, who guided us through the outdoor and indoor parts of the fair. He introduced us to locations such as Theatrum Obscurum, Megastunts, mini games, THQ Nordic island, and the fair space itself.
Theatrum Obscurum
This space, as Nikos said, is designed as a place where we can see the latest trailers for upcoming horror indie games, using two buttons on the floor to change the trailers, and what is special is that the experience is unique for each person; another person can change the trailer, but you will still watch the one you are currently viewing.
Megastunts
Megastunts are special locations where we could see two upcoming titles: Heptic Arena (Prism Studio) and Mightreya (Wazen, 505 Games). At both locations, we could familiarize ourselves with trailers and brief descriptions of the games, and by clicking on the terminal, we were taken directly to the Steam pages where we could add the titles to our wish lists or try out demos.
THQ Nordic island
The popular publisher THQ Nordic received its own special island where we had the opportunity to purchase current titles, but also visit special booths for: Titan Quest II, Reanimal, Wreckreation, Gothic 1 Remake and Tides of Tomorrow and participate in a special challenge where we had to count how many letters Q were on the bulletin board, and the 200 luckiest would be rewarded with a key for one of the aforementioned games.
Mini games
As part of the fair, visitors can try their hand at two mini games, and the best will be rewarded with Steam gift vouchers (50 euros and 100 euros). The first challenge is based on the title Only Up, where the goal is to reach the top by jumping over various gaming-related items. The second challenge is a maze that we also tried, and we must admit it took us quite a while to successfully get out of it.
Content creators
Like all other well-known video game fairs, Endix is also visited by internet content creators, and this time the central figure was popular Twitch streamer and VTuber model Ironmouse. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen obligations, she could not attend this year, but she still got her corner where players can take pictures in a special place and enjoy the performance of her song Musix Box of Fate.
Exhibition space
At the end of the tour with Nikos, we finally entered the exhibition space where we were greeted on the ground floor by the Endy mascot, who explained to us how and why Endix was created. The tour continued through three floors where we could enter the space of each game for which the guide said that the teams design themselves, or if they don't have time, they send all models to the Endix team, who then arrange everything properly. Every visitor on the first floor can also receive a free game for Steam worth from 2 to 50 euros.
Nikos had to step away briefly, leaving us in the hands of developer Itfromribcagegames, who introduced us to the action roguelike title Alpha Nomos. The tour concluded with Nikos thanking all the creators and press members, stating that their plan for next year is to create an even larger edition and invite a greater number of exhibitors.
Endix officially opens its virtual doors today and will be open for the next 48 hours, and you can access it via the launcher available on the official website or through the Google Drive of the organization. All the games that are part of this expo can be tried out and added to your wish lists via the special Steam page.
