The 'Neowiz Quest" is designed to create a consensus on the importance of solid narratives in which worldviews, stories, and characters are organically connected in the domestic indie game market, and to support an environment in which story-oriented games can be developed.
This contest can be applied to anyone, including individual developers, developers, and prospective founders who develop indie games through the official teasing page. Participation costs are free and there are no restrictions on the genre and platform of the game, but already commercialized works released by early access cannot be supported.
The deadline for filing is January 16, 2026, and the submitted application or build can be modified at any time just before the deadline. After about a year of recruitment, a total of 10 teams will be selected, including the grand prize, the top prize, and the prize. The offline awards ceremony will be held on March 6, 2026. The total prize money is 165 million won, the largest competition ever conducted by Neowiz.
A Neowiz official said, "The new future of the game will begin with the power of the narrative, such as a solid world view, original story, attractive character, and fandom enthusiastic about it. We will create a new indie game culture by supporting the environment where more creators can focus on developing narrative-oriented indie games through Neowiz Quest."
Meanwhile, Neowiz, who has been steadily interested in indie games, is serving a number of popular indie games, including his first publication work 'Scul: The Hero Slayer' and 'Sannabi', which was praised for its touching story. This year, it is set to release 'Hello Seoul: Itaewon Flight' and 'Shape of Dreams' through a publishing contract. It is also holding a 'Indie Game Show in the Room' to promote indie games in Korea.
