InterfaceX26 Event Announcement

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello everyone!

Author Sim will be featured in the upcoming InterfaceX26 event, running from April 27 to May 4! Be sure to check out the landing page here: https://interfacex.net/

InterfaceX26 celebrates Fake OS games—games that take place within desktops, mobile devices, chat logs, and other operating systems. Discover over 150 games, enjoy great discounts, and tune in to the live showcase on May 2.

To help define the Fake OS genre, we developers are taking a community-driven approach by asking players to tag these games on Steam. Consistent bottom-up tagging will encourage Valve to recognize “Fake OS” as an official tag and make games within this genre easier to find.

Join us and support this campaign by tagging these games on Steam with the “Fake OS” tag. Here's a useful tool to make tagging fast and efficient: https://interfacex.net/tag/

Hope to see you at InterfaceX26!
