kjorteoWe played the necessary five games, and then played four more for extra credit, and then didn't score three of them, so I guess we're submitting six scores overall?
The Dead Account by Bez: 9
And Then You Come to a House Not Unlike the Previous One by B.J. Best: 9
Weird Grief by Bez: 7
extraordinary_fandoms.exe by Storysinger: 6
Finding Light by Abigail Jazwiec: 5
This Won't Make You Happy by Mike Gillis: 4
Infinite Adventure by A. Scotts: Not scored/submitted. It's less a standalone game and more something one plays for about five minutes and then plays And Then You Come to a House Not Unlike the Previous One.
My Gender Is a Fish by Carter Gwertzman: Not scored/submitted. In our opinion, not long or interactive enough to really qualify as an IFComp game.
You Are SpamZapper 3.1 by Leon Arnott: Not scored/submitted. This one partly our fault; this game is well over two hours long (it says one and a half hours on the IFComp ballot page but that's... not correct) and we lost track of time and missed the two hour cutoff, thus making us unable to judge it fairly.
After having to skip IFComp 2020 due to personal life matters/mental health being... well... 2020, it feels good to have done it this year. We played some really good games that we're happy to recommend others play as well. IFComp is back and it feels good.
At a score of 9 apiece, we have a tie for our top-rated games this year. Of the two, I would say that The Dead Account has a more engrossing and emotional story, while And Then You Come to a House Not Unlike the Previous One has better gameplay. The Dead Account is our favorite between the two, but not by such a large margin that they get different point totals.
Anyway, this was a blast, and we hope to do it again next year.
