ALT+CTRL fills a vital niche by providing a juried venue outside the mainstream game industry to showcase the latest independent games to both publishers and the general public. ALT+CTRL seeks to cultivate a vibrant independent game community, and bring both the game industry and the general public new and novel applications in game design, game genres, methodologies and approaches to game play.
