Congrats to the winners :) I really enjoyed Nelly and Art of Theft.
I’m surprised Gesundheit didn’t win anything though!
I haven’t played a lot of the AGS games released this year but I played Nelly Cootalot and found it completely beguiling.
The Infinity String had terrific background art too, another deserving award perhaps.
The AGS version of the awards ceremony is painful to watch. congrats to everyone though
