Cultural Game Prototypes
The games featured on this page are prototypes created by participants in the Cultural Game Jams, an integral part of the European project EPIC-WE. Each game card links to its own prototype page on Itch.io, where you can also find the full collection of all the game pages: https://epicwe.itch.io/.
