I would like to present A Matter of Heist Urgency, a delightfully short cartoon-comedy parser superhero brawler. Though it only placed 34th in the IFComp, its post-comp release has improved the game tremendously. Don’t take my word for it – check out Scrooge200’s review or this thread.
You can read more about the feedback I received, the design challenges it posed, and how I responded to them and improved the game, in my postmortem and transcript analysis. (If you haven’t already played the game, exercise caution; both of these topics contain spoilers!)
Though it has already been nominated for several categories, I think it fits best in Most Sequel-worthy Game, since every single review to date has mentioned that they would play a sequel.
Given the disconnect between the positive reviews given by @mathbrush, @rovarsson, and other influential IF figures and its low IFComp score and IFDB rating, it could also be appropriate for Outstanding Underappreciated Game.
