The iGi indie game incubator program brought five titles from its sixth cohort to BitSummit PUNCH, held May 22-24 at the Marvelous/XSEED Games booth. The incubator supports indie creators with development resources, business guidance, and exhibition opportunities. Past iGi graduates and XSEED titles were also on display, but the sixth-generation lineup drew attention for its variety of core mechanics.
- Dystopia VS Distortion: A deck-building roguelike themed around guitar effects pedals, where card order on the pedal board determines effect processing order.
- Replica Club Route D: A cosmic horror ADV where a new manager for Hollywood star Kane navigates between nightmare and reality, with a card battle system using paint colors to swap decks.
- Nakano Personality Transplant Laboratory: A mystery ADV set on a ship where the player solves a disappearance by transferring their consciousness into suspects to access unreachable areas and hidden information.
- Voyage Router: A navigation-focused roguelike where players explore a dimension strait with randomly generated terrain and changing map conditions each turn.
- Cross the C: A top-down puzzle game where the player guides a ship that moves until hitting rocks, using pieces to place obstacles, warp points, and goals.
