Demonights 016 took place on November 26, 2022 at Kinemathek Lichtspiel – quite possibly the most beautiful and nerdy location you can rent in Bern. Movie projectors, plenty of movie references, a great bar and comfy seat. Good sound, the lovely Gong and an adequate screen (size wise). Scroll on for photos and complete playlist of what we’ve been seeing troughout the evening.
A visitor who is an editor to gamelab.ch has written a long an affectionate report. Really glad you were there, Rene! Here’s the report: https://www.gamelab.ch/?p=7878
