The winners of the first ever Gamescom Latam Awards are in, with Game of the Year going to Rundisc's seminal Chants of Sennaar.
The French indie's acclaimed game about deciphering languages was one of hundreds that were playable on the show floor at the Sao Paulo Expo during Gamescom Latam last week.
It was chosen as Game of the Year by a panel of 49 judges, who selected winners in 13 categories. The results were announced during the Gamescom Latam Awards ceremony on the show floor on Saturday, June 29.
Also among the winners were Momodora: Moonlit Farewell by Brazilian studio Bombservice, Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure by Furniture & Mattress (which operates out of Argentina and California), and Extremely Powerful Capybaras by Brazilian indie Studio Bravarda.
