Recently Pocket Gamer Connects packed its bags and headed back to Helsinki for Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki. This also meant the return of The Very Big Indie Pitch. The Very Big Indie Pitch is our bumper edition competition where even more developers can pitch an ever-increasing range of brand-new and diverse gaming experiences from some of the most exciting indie developers from across the globe.
The Big Indie Pitch is a regular event run by the makers of PCGamesInsider.biz. It gives indie developers the chance to pitch their games to industry experts and journalists in a speed-dating-style format. Teams receive valuable feedback and the opportunity to win great prizes such as promotional packages and opportunities to promote their game.
As always, the competition was extremely tough. However, eventually, the judges were able to settle on a top three and ultimately one worthy winner.

Of course, visceral and intense combat isn't all that's on offer as players progress through a world of dark creatures and cunning evil. Alongside this SULFUR also offers treasure to locate, weapon improvements and customisation, and a world of secrets to uncover and solve.
2nd Place - MonsterCare by Housefolk
