The Witness de Jonathan Blow, USA
"the point is the magic that happens in the player's mind when he understands the subtle things that the mazes are saying - because the mazes aren't just puzzles, they are lines of communication that aggregate, become more complex and eventually say surprising things" Jonathan Blow

Gods Will Be Watching da Deconstructeam, Espanha
"Gods Will Be Watching is a game about hard decissions and moral dilemmas in order to survive. A series of dramatic puzzles where not only the mathematic outcome counts but also the ethical approach to the problem. There's also no good or evil, just decisions, with only you as the judge of your actions. Is eating your friends the best way to stay alive, or just the easier?"

Framed da Loveshack Entertainment (Australia)
"Each page of the noir thriller presents a series of panels that depict an important action or event. Players change the order of these events, changing the outcome of the story. This results in a unique interactive narrative, where every action is framed by the last, and the only thing tying the narrative vignettes together is the context the player carries in their mind."

"Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture will be powerful and deep, highly immersive and with an absolute focus on your emotional journey through the world. It’s non-linear, with a dynamic and adaptive environment, so this is about your story, a really individual experience that breaks away from the on-rails nature of lots of story-driven games into something that you have a visible impact on."

No Man's Sky da Hello Games (UK)
"The game’s “every atom” is procedural… a character emerging from an ocean full of fish, climbing inside a spaceship and flying into space in a single contiguous motion, interspersed with quick shots of different planet surfaces, gigantic space stations, space combat, deformable terrain and more... It’s fantastic, and exciting, and it leaves you with no sense of what the game is."
