I was one of the official judges this year, and now that the results have been made public, and I'm free to do so, here is my score and thoughts on this title:
Overall score: 7
The game had a nice look about it and great music choice. However, I feel the mechanics that were tied to the multiple endings weren't explained very well. If you have an option to talk it out with, instead of kill, an enemy, but you don't tell a player that until it's too late, that's not giving the player ownership of their choices. The writing could have really used another look as well, as it was very clunky and easy to trip over at some parts. I could get the gist of things, but it was rough around the edges. Also, the lack of healing items and the difficulty of the last boss were more frustrating than challenging.
