IFComp games usually dominate the awards and IFDB in a given year, so it can be easy for other games to be overlooked. Before IFComp starts, I wanted to record a list of the most popular games on IFDB so far this year (I had trouble formatting this, so apologies if it’s weird!)
If you’re looking for something to check out before the comp, these might be fun!
