And here at long last our journey is done! Thanks to all the authors for providing such an amazingly rich tapestry of games to encounter and explore and riff on, and to everyone else writing reviews for your amazing perspectives, which much of the time made me slap my head and wish I’d thought of a point first. And thanks to everyone who read and commented on this thread – I hope I helped at least a few of you find or better appreciate one of these games!
I’ll probably be taking some time to catch up on various boring non-IF tasks, then play at least some of the very enticing EctoComp games, and return to finish my Cragne Manor let’s play thread before the end of the year. And one lucky/unlucky IF Comp winner will also get to pick an annotated playthrough by me as their “prize”, so y’all can look for that probably in early '23!
