At a Glance: IFComp (aka. The Interactive Fiction Competition) 2019’s Glorious Victors

At a Glance: IFComp (aka. The Interactive Fiction Competition) 2019’s Glorious Victors

Well, I hope you got around to voting on some interactive fiction because now the time’s up, voices have been tallied, and another IFComp has ended. Which means it’s time for a brief glance at… the top 10? Yeah. Sure. Let’s go with the ten best!

As some of you may recall, a grand total of 82 entries were submitted, and – believe it or not – every last one received a ranking. I mean, they obviously didn’t all win, as only the #1 spot is really a winner. Even so, I’d still say placing in the top 10 is pretty darn impressive, which is why I’ve listed that particular lot below, along with a vod of the announcement stream and links to each and every tale.

Most interesting of the big ten? Hmm… I’d have to go with #8, Limerick Heist, which is without a doubt a heist-y tale unlike any other. #1’s Zozzled, which was supposed to be full of giggle juice, does seem quite amusing too, however. Ah right, the list!

  1. Zozzled (Steph Cherrywell)
  2. Turandot (Victor Gijsbers)
  3. Chuk and the Arena (Agnieszka Trzaska)
  4. Sugarlawn (Mike Spivey)
  5. Heretic’s Hope (G.C. Baccaris)
  6. robotsexpartymurder (Hanon Ondricek)
  7. Night Guard / Morning Star (Astrid Dalmady)
  8. Limerick Heist (Pace Smith)
  9. Poppet (Bitter Karella)
  10. Skies Above (Arthur DiBianca)

Whenever a big AAA title claims it'll "innovate with groundbreaking features", it usually turns out to be an absolute snorefest - one which simply mimics other games (poorly). This is where my interest in indie games comes from: pick a random title from a pile of indie games and chances are you’ll hit something downright unique and different, often for well less than $60 too.
