The Chinese Room's moody adventure game Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture wowed the judges, as Her Story, from Sam Barlow, continued to rack up wins in this award season.
Tonight in London, the British Academy Games Awards were handed out by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts -- or BAFTA for short -- and while Fallout 4 won best game of the year, the real winners were Her Story and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, which bagged numerous statuettes (the latter after leading nominations.)
This year, BAFTA also handed out its fellowship to Oculus VR CTO John Carmack, in honor of his contributions to the medium of video games.
The full list of winners is below -- notably, Her Story and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture each picked up three awards.
