Inscryption had a big night at this year’s GDC and IGF Awards
The 22nd Game Developers Choice Awards and 24th annual Independent Games Festival Awards were held last night in San Francisco. Many different games were honored, but Inscryption made history by taking both big awards of the night.
Daniel Mullins Games’ Inscryption won Game of the Year at the 2022 GDC Awards and the Grand Prize at the IGF Awards. It’s the first game to ever do so. The narrative deckbuilding game also won for Excellence in Design, Audio, and Narrative at the IGF Awards.
Other big winners include Unpacking, Valheim, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, each of which took home two GDC Awards apiece. Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award, and Steven Spohn was recognized with the Ambassador Award for his work in advocating for and improving accessibility in games.
