Fern awarded their Best of Show prize to Patience Is A Virtue, praising @teaisfortoby.bsky.social's mystery puzzle game/VN with an interesting "choose your words" communication mechanic and representation of chronic illness. Includes footage of the game's charming-then-chilling demo!
We were lucky enough to join the many locals who had an opportunity to spend some time at @panic.com HQ to check out Big Walk from @househouse.com and came away delighted with the game's ideas and focus on playful experimentation.
Big Walk releases August 4, 2026! Check out our video preview!

Fish gravitated toward a horrifying but also comedic at times altar boy experience, @baroquedecay.bsky.social's Catechesis, for his top pick of the show. In his spotlight, he walks us through the demo and the game's unique development journey that started over a decade ago.
Nate kicked things off with his spotlight of @deconstructeam.bsky.social and @selkieharbour.com's Virtue and a Sledgehammer.
As he puts it, "if this demo was all I played of this game this year, it still might crack my top 10 gaming experiences of 2026."
Complete with demo footage!
