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: 9.5
I honestly don't know what to say about this game that could be a hard critique. It was really well put together, and I enjoyed almost every aspect of it. I do wish that the main mechanic of the fighting had been more thoroughly explained (before nearly arriving at Sar-Dhakka the first time) or that there was some more strategy than just Nagging the demons and then hitting them. I also felt planting more and more seeds might lead to something, but grinding them was a bit of a chore. Still, this was very, VERY well done and I enjoyed it. Even if Ben was kind of a dick.
