Soon, there will be a glorious deathmatch to decide the
cream of the crop from 2013’s independently developed video games. That’s
because the Independent Games Festival just announced its nominees for the
awards that they give out annually to the most accomplished indie titles. Some
of them aren’t out yet. But others are. Here’s how you can play the games vying
to be the best of the best.
Maybe you’ve heard the buzz about Jazzpunk, The Stanley Parable or Papers, Please. Maybe all of those names are totally new to you.
But, chances are, if a game’s made its way to the nominee list for the IGF’s
Seumas McNally Grand Prize, it’s a pretty special experience that you should
try. (Check out what Kotaku has written
about The Stanley Parable, Don’t Starve, Jazzpunk, Papers, Please and Device
