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: 10
Absolutely charming entry, and probably the best I've played so far. Excellent art assets, wonderful maps, and very interesting and engaging story. Even with just one character talking to themselves for most of it, it was still a good story presented in a good way. Would've liked some more indication of collectables, but still a stellar game.
