Ahead of GDC 2022 in March, one of the event’s major highlights is already gearing up. The Independent Games Festival Awards (IGF 2022) take place at the expo, and today the nominations highlight a lot of terrific Indie games.

The biggest award is the Seumas McNally Grand Prize, and you can see the nominees below; a few of these games are available on the eShop, too.

It’s also been noted that Unpacking and Inscryption are the leading candidates with four nominations each across different categories. Unpacking, from Witch Beam, has proven to be a huge hit with its blend of unwinding, nostalgia and subtle storytelling. Inscryption has taken off on PC with everyone and their gran seemingly playing it, so it also has a lot of deserving buzz.

You can see the full details on the official website.
