The Nuovo Award, which honors the title that makes jurors "think differently about games as a medium," went to developer Lily Zone for Memory Card, a downloadable project for Windows that is an ever-expanding dumping ground compiled from stuff found on a hard-drive.
Papetura, a handcrafted puzzle adventure game with a unique world handmade entirely out of paper, won the Excellence in Visual Art award. In addition to the Seumas McNally Grand Prize, Inscryption won Excellence in Audio, Excellence in Design, and Excellence in Narrative. Inscryption is a genre-bending love letter to video games that blends deckbuilding, roguelike escape-room style puzzles and psychological horror into a surprising mix.
