Here are this year's DADIU graduation games

Once again, the DADIU teams - comprised of students from art schools and universities in all of Denmark - have spent the last part of their DADIU semester creating the most amazing, original games. And now, they're ready to show them to the world.

Tomorrow marks a new DADIU milestone as this semester’s students take to the stage and present what has taken up all their time for the last couple of months. And we celebrate the students with a bang on a very special graduation showcase on the 5th of December. But you can already acquaint yourself with the student productions below.

The five games will be presented at The National Film School of Denmark, where you get the chance to meet the team behind each game, and get to know more about the creative process behind each project.

But there's no reason for alarm if you didn't get hold of a ticket as the showcase will be broadcast live from the cinema of the Film School.

Glance through each game below, and make sure to join the live chat via DADIU’s Twitch.

Graduation kicks off at 15:30.

We can't wait!

'End Transmission?'

'End transmission?' is a narrative management and puzzle game. In just about a week the world will quietly end, and all life in it will fade with it, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make the best of the time you have left. Play as Lenna, the local teenage radio DJ, who has made it her mission to make her town go out in celebration, rather than despair, as she plays music and helps whoever needs it. Your mission is to turn that silence into celebration—broadcasting music, taking calls, and boosting the morale of a weary world. A celebration of the time we have in this world."
