Her Story takes two gongs and grand prize at 2016 IGF Awards
Published on
Investigatory narrative adventure Her Story has emerged victorious at the Independent Games Festival awards this year.
The IGF runs alongside GDC each year, and its awards immediately precede the mainstream honours.
This year Sam Barlow's FMV adventure Her Story was a clear winner, taking out both the Seamus McNally Grand Prize and a nod for excellence in visual art.
It was the only title to score multiple honours this year, although several games received repeat nominations.
Somewhat surprisingly, the glorious Undertale was passed over in every category bar the audience choice.
Here's the full list of winners. Stay tuned for the GDC results.
