It has been a true pleasure exploring all the IFComp entries.
The dedication, creativity, and passion evident in each work are truly admirable.
Every story, every puzzle, every world created has offered me a unique experience.
For me, it is impossible to choose a single winner.
They are all precious gems that enrich the landscape of interactive fiction.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the authors
for giving us these fantastic adventures!
