This collage showcases a demo of Stay: Forever Home at Indie Media Connect during GDC 2025. The setup includes a VR station where a participant is actively engaging with the game using a headset and controllers. The space is decorated with banners and a life-size cutout of Ember, the game's stylized magical wolf character. A press kit with QR codes and promotional materials is displayed on a table. Screens in the background show gameplay footage, while a group photo of the team stands for a photo smiling. The overall atmosphere highlights an immersive and interactive experience designed to introduce players to an age-appropriate experience in the world of Stay: Forever Home.
A huge THANK YOU to all press and media who came by to play @stayforeverhome.bsky.social at #IndieMediaConnect!
Seeing so many pats and pets given to Ember had our hearts full. 🥰 Be sure to wishlist the game so you're the first to know when we go live in April: bit.ly/get-a-treat
