The Game Talent Institute, managed by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA), is set to make an appearance at G-STAR 2025, held at BEXCO in Busan from November 13th to 16th.

The institute serves as a specialized training ground, focusing on practical, integrated education across game design, art, and programming. Students are pushed to simulate real-world development environments, honing their collaborative skills while navigating the entire pipeline from initial concept to final release.

The exhibition booth will showcase 10 student-led projects. The lineup includes seven graduation projects: After the Curtain Call, F-Class Hunter Survival, Vanishing Ground, Omega: Protocol, Exorcising Ghost, LOG:OUT, and Kori & Travelers. Additionally, three mini-projects—Daehwanjang Games, Shotgun Princess, and Re:BELLION—will be on display.

Of particular note is 'Exorcising Ghost', a shamanic horror title set on a derelict island that utilizes voice recognition for its core interaction mechanics. It has already garnered attention as an official selection for the Tokyo Game Show 2025 Indie 80 and was featured at the Osaka Indie Game Summit 2025.

Daehwanjang Games claimed the Excellence in Experimental award at the 2024 Busan Indie Connect Festival (BIC). The game tasks players with stepping into the shoes of a QA tester, hunting down bugs in a meta-commentary on the development process.

Then there is Shotgun Princess, an action title featuring a princess in a wheelchair traversing dungeons crafted from everyday facilities. Its blend of social commentary and solid mechanics earned it the Public Pick award at the 2025 Busan Indie Connect Festival (BIC).

Beyond the game showcases, the institute will host an information booth for prospective applicants. Kim Nam-geol, a division head at KOCCA, remarked, "G-STAR 2025 provides an invaluable opportunity for our students to present their work to industry professionals and the public alike," adding, "We remain committed to supporting these students as they develop, present, and ultimately grow through the rigors of game creation."
