The winners of the 2023 IGF Awards have been announced, celebrating some of the best independent games from the last year, and really, some of the best games of the last year in general. The full list of finalists and honourable mentions is an incredible primer for some of the most innovative and exciting things happening in video games today.
The singular Betrayal at Club Low took out the Seumas McNally Grand Prize award, as well as the Nuovo award, in a competitive category that included the Australian-developed Queer Man Peering Into a Rock Pool.jpg, which previously took out the Australian Game Developer Award for Excellence In Emerging Games.
