Panels and Art!
We are excited to announce a new panel for Timeless 2026! We also have an incredible new exhibitor.
Horror Game Awards Panel
The first and only awards show dedicated to celebrating the horror genre in video games. The Horror Game Awards are the brainchild of Phil Dickens and Will Penkeyman, lifelong horror fans who wanted better representation for their favourite genre after numerous snubs for horror games in classic awards settings.
The first show in 2022 featured just a single Game of the Year award, nominated by 14 jury members in a series of YouTube videos. From these humble origins, Phil and Will pushed for a full awards show in 2023 and sought to grow and improve year on year. 2025 saw our first live, in-person awards ceremony, with 16 award categories, and close to 90 jury members from content creators across the industry comprising our main and specialised juries.
About Phil
Phil Dickens is a lifelong survival horror fan with a terrible aversion to writing bios. But if he says "we should just do it ourselves," he absolutely means it - The Horror Game Awards being only the latest example.
As well as co-creating The Horror Game Awards, Phil runs his own YouTube channels: one dedicated to all things The Last of Us, including gruelling permadeath challenge runs on the games' hardest difficulty, and the other focused on video essays analysing the narratives of horror games. He also co-runs The Last of Us Challenge Runs Discord server which sets the rules and verifies community challenge runs.
About Ash
Raised on a healthy diet of B-movies, fantasy games, and Stephen King novels, Ash Millman is a specialist in the horror genre, celebrating movies, games, and spooky media across the internet.
Ash works freelance doing just about anything she can related to horror and gaming media. You can find her across the internet creating video essays on horror releases, live streaming her playthroughs of horror games, being a chaotic participant on various YouTube shows, and using her diabolical Midlands accent for voice work in various formats, from game announcements on Future Games Show to narrating and acting in horror stories for The NoSleep Podcast.

SM Artworks Exhibitor
One of the most common pieces of feedback from previous Timeless events is that people wanted to see more independent crafts and artists... to which we are excited to welcome SM Artworks.
