For the unfamiliar, IFComp is the biggest event in the IF community, with usually 50+ entrants each year. The link is to all the games—which are, of course, free. Consider becoming a judge or donating to the prize pool!

For the familiar—what are your favourites this year? Which game do you think will win?

To answer my own question, I haven't played all the games yet, and I'm biased towards parser games, but I loved To Sea In A Sieve and I think it's a contender for winner. Quirky writing (which seems to be a popular trait among past winners), strong setting, and challenging puzzles. Only possible downside is that the puzzles might be a little too challenging? 🤔

I accidentally lost my progress in Assembly and haven't gotten up to replaying, but what I saw was super promising too.
