Level Up Showcase is about celebrating student talent. Students across Ontario gain valuable skills in post-secondary video game courses; that experience culminates in this public exhibition, where they compete for best-in-show awards and put their work on display for the world to see. Founded and run by digital media faculty from post-secondary institutions across the province, this one-of-a-kind event has become a yearly tradition for students, institutions, and industry.

If mere victory is not enough, the lives of your enemies are forfeit. Explore the devil’s manor to learn about your opponents and immerse yourself in the world. Do you seek greatness? redemption? Like a duel, the choice resides in your hands.
