The theme of the anual "The Overkill" festival for this year is "the end of the world as you know it". We want to look at communities and collaborative platforms that are experimenting with new ways of living together in a catastrophic environmental and economical context. If video games are often about saving the world, we want to explore the different scenarios of gaming and movies and see how this can stimulate a social debate. With help of a number of datasets filled with info of previous protests and digital activism, you are going to create an interactive experience that triggers people.

We are very happy to announce that Aleksander Kauch, the lead game developer of 11 bit studios, will give a presentation and be part of this edition's jury. 11 bit studios are the masterminds behind the success games "This War of Mine" and "Frostpunk".
