AI Summary
BIC 2025 returns to BEXCO with a bigger venue and more booths. Unlike typical showcases, this event focuses on actual gameplay demos. It is a must-visit destination for hardcore fans of indie gaming.
The 'Busan Indie Connect Festival (BIC) 2025', where you can enjoy countless indie games, is back. It has returned with a significantly larger scale and more booths than last year, drawing a massive crowd. Despite the increase in the number of booths, one could still see the familiar sight of gamers huddled together, patiently waiting for a chance to play the games.
What distinguishes BIC from other game shows is that it is an event centered on hands-on demos and game introductions. Unlike other game shows that feature videos, physical merchandise, and cosplayers, you can find many hardcore gamers who have flocked here solely to play the games. We have captured the scene where these 'real' ones have gathered.

수많은 인디게임을 즐겨볼 수 있는 '부산인디커넥페스티벌(이하 BIC) 2025'가 돌아왔다. 작년보다 더 큰 규모, 더 많은 부스들로 꽉꽉 채워져 수많은 인원이 인산인해를 이뤘다. 부스가 늘어났음에도 게임을 플레이하기 위해 게이머들이 옹기종기 모여 기다리는 풍경을 확인할 수 있었다.
BIC가 여타 게임쇼와 차별화되는 특징은 시연과 게임 소개가 중심이 되는 행사라는 점이다. 영상, 실물 상품, 코스플레이어 등도 참여하는 여타 게임쇼와 달리, 정말 게임 플레이만을 오매불망 기다리며 몰려든 골수 게이머들을 다수 찾아볼 수 있다. 이 '진짜'들이 모인 현장을 담아봤다.
