    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.
