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: 8.5
Excellent game, and used a very unique mechanic. I hardly felt like I was playing an RM game! Loved the custom art assets, and the controls were smooth and responsive, something I find a rarity in ARPG RM games. My only real complaints are that I wish you could use a button to quick select skills on your hotbar instead of using the mouse wheel, and that I wish it incorporated the theme a bit more than a throw-away line in one of the endings.
