Devolverland Expo 1.0

With the current pandemic that's going around, expos around the country have been getting canceled left and right. Game developers have had to get creative with announcements now that E3 and all the other expos have gotten canceled. Most of them simply opt to release it onto Youtube and post the link on social media, but Devolver Digital is different. They instead decided to make a whole game called Devolverland Expo to market their games.

To install Devolverland Expo, make sure you have Steam installed and go to this link to install the game.

The premise of this game is very tongue in cheek. You are tasked to explore the mysteriously abandoned Devolverland Expo. When you enter, you find that it's inexplicably filled with traps and puzzles...much like a video game. If you're caught by the rogue security, you'll be kicked out and have to try again. In this game, you have to make your way to various abandoned booths that all tell you what Devolver has in store.

For instance, the Shadow Warriors 3 booth has, among many other things, a screen that plays a trailer for the game, a screen with the gameplay demo videos, and various secrets that all tell you more about the game. Basically, everything that a game announcement would come with in a normal expo, but in a fun, first person shooter format instead.

This is definitely one of the most interesting ways that a company has marketed their games. If you're curious about such an oddity, give Devolverland Expo a download.
