I still DO NOT BELIEVE that Perfect Tides: Station to Station took home the IGF award for Excellence in Narrative last night, but there is photographic proof of my hand buckling under its weight

This game literally swep the IGF Awards at GDC this year. Not even it's safe.
Also worth noting: Jenny Jiao Hsia's autobiographical opus Consume Me, which won the Grand Prize at this year's Independent Games Festival along with a few other awards, is also delisted in itch search (but also has a searchable Steam listing)
Can confirm that most of the works by @radiatoryang.bsky.social, as well as my own card game (but not the extras, ironically) no longer show up in itch.io search results, much like anything else tagged NSFW, it seems. Good enough art for museums... But not payment processors!

Another IGF nom that cannot be ignored, imo
Perfect Tides: Station to Station has been nominated for two IGF awards:
-Excellence in Narrative
-Seumas McNally Grand Prize
This is such a tremendous honor, and what a nice hurrah as and the team and the playtesters and I race towards the finish line.

this is just my approach to IGF
We need a National Book Awards-style game award: every year a committee of five freaks is handed the keys to all the prestige, they pick stuff no one's heard of, readers (players) get mad, the committee members get defensive, no one is truly happy, and then next year we do it all again

Consume Me just got delisted in a wave of delistings on itchio. It's a semi-autographical game about disordered eating. It won the grand prize at the most recent IGF awards.
When storefronts start mass bannings, everything is threatened.

By the way this IGF Excellence in Narrative nominated writer (twice!) is still looking for work in 2026 👋
Hi I'm Pierre Corbinais, I'm a veteran game writer and narrative designer and I'll be looking for freelance work starting September.
I love writing dialogues that make you laugh, cry or both in the same time.
