November 18, 2022 – The first-ever Indie Cup Canada, a digital festival of Canadian independent games, finishes today. The expert jury board evaluated the nominees and chose the best entries. The Grand Jury Award goes to fighting roguelike deckbuilder Beneath Oresa by Broken Spear. Half Asleep’s rhythm-based Melatonin, a game about dreams and reality merging together, got the Rising Star Award. And Spiral by Folkore Games, a game that shares a poetic vision of cognitive degeneration seen from the inside, takes not one but two awards: Critics’ Choice and Unreal Engine Award.
