Neowiz will take part in the "2026 Game Culture Festival" at BEXCO in Busan during G-Star 2026, offering demos and on-site events for two indie games.

Neowiz said on Nov. 9 it will showcase its published titles "SANABI: Possessed Day" and "Hello Seoul: Itaewon" from Nov. 19 to 22 at BEXCO’s second exhibition hall in Busan.

The Game Culture Festival, now in its sixth year, is hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and organised by the Korea Creative Content Agency.

The "SANABI: Possessed Day" booth will be built around the concept of the "Mago Special City operation zone". Visitors can play the game on site and join a speedrun challenge to complete it within a time limit.

The first-place participant with the top record on the hour will receive a Mexicana Chicken gift certificate and a separate prize, while second place will receive a gift certificate. Participants will also receive commemorative goods.

Neowiz will also run a verification event for existing "SANABI" users. Those who verify at least 2 items from a list of designated tasks, including purchasing the main game on Steam or adding it to a wishlist, joining the official Discord and following the official X account, can receive a "SANABI: Possessed Day" L-holder file.

On Nov. 21, the festival will also hold a fan signing session at the Aniplus Busan Seomyeon store with Yoo Seung-hyun (유승현), CEO of developer Wonder Potion, in attendance.

"Hello Seoul: Itaewon" will set up its booth under the theme of "Seoul’s last message". After the demo, it will run a stamp mission made up of a vote to select the most memorable scene, an experience called "Seoul’s last call" and writing on a message board.

Visitors who complete the demo will receive 1 of 2 acrylic keyrings at random, while participants in the vote will receive a 4-key keycap keyring.

On the first 2 days of the event, Nov. 19 and Nov. 20, the developer of "Hello Seoul: Itaewon" will also hold a live commentary programme once each day to explain the game’s world and story.

"SANABI: Possessed Day" is a 2D action platformer that covers a story set before the main game. It follows protagonist Major Song as he tracks the secret of a robot scrapyard, set during the period when he first met a brigadier general.

"Hello Seoul: Itaewon" is a narrative puzzle adventure game in a near-future Seoul ahead of an asteroid collision, in which protagonist Ra-yeon tracks clues related to the government’s space evacuation project. It won the best game category at last year’s Gamescom 2025 Indie Arena Booth Awards.
