This year's Game Developers Choice Awards--which are annually presented at the Game Developers Conference--have given top honors to Inscryption. Developed by Daniel Mullins Games, the spooky deck-builder was up against the fiercely cathartic competition in the form of Unpacking. Both games were nominated for excellence in audio, excellence in design, excellence in narrative, and the Independent Games Festival Awards' Seumas McNally Grand Prize.

　　Inscryption won both the IGF grand prize and the GDC game of the year accolades, which marked the first time in the history of the events that a game won both awards. Unpacking walked away with awards for Best Audio and Innovation from GDC, while Inscryption added excellence in audio and design prizes to its list of accolades.

　　Beyond those two games, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart won awards for best visual art and best technology, Psychonauts 2 won the prize for best narrative, and Valheim picked up an award for the best debut of 2022. Unsurprisingly, It Takes Two picked up more prizes that it could add to its trophy shelf alongside its blockbuster performance at various awards shows.
