WELCOME TO THE FELLOW TRAVELLER BACKSTAGE

The Fellow Traveller Backstage is our behind-the-scenes access program for media and content creators covering narrative games.

This is your way into early information, assets, and access tied to Fellow Traveller events including the Story-Rich Showcase, our official showcase during the Summer Game Fest period, dedicated entirely to story-rich indie games, and LudoNarraCon, our long-running Steam festival celebrating narrative games, which will return for its eighth edition in Q4 2026.

If you love covering games where story matters, you’re in the right place.

Backstage access is not guaranteed. Access is provided at Fellow Traveller’s discretion. We’ll do our best to support meaningful coverage.

THE STORY-RICH SHOWCASE

This showcase is highly curated and built around developer-led storytelling. If you care about story-first games, this is a showcase made for you.

LUDONARRACON

This is our digital festival celebrating narrative games on Steam, with a dedicated event page that includes the year's Official Selection of games, demos, discounts, and more!
