I'm operating in the eleventh hour as always over here- but I've just submitted my picks! Perhaps more last minute voters shall follow?

[For Your Consideration: Graceward - Complete Edition]

For Your Consideration: Graceward - Complete Edition

Graceward showed up here last year in early access, but the commercial release is now out, and it's a title which very much continues the running theme of 90's nostalgia. Though I think you'll find Graceward harkens back even more to DOOM and BLOOD than anything by LucasArts or Sierra. Graceward is half point and click, and half shooter.

Most relevantly to the AGS awards, there is a free demo of the game on Itch, so anyone can try it out.

It's also on steam, if achievements are really important to you. Happy hunting, and godspeed.

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2217060/Graceward__Complete_Edition/
Itch: https://thinking-of-cremation.itch.io/graceward

Please consider Graceward for:
-Best Music & Sound
-Best Writing
-Best Gameplay

Thank you Wiggy, hope you enjoy the rest of the story!

And that's a good call eri0o, done, thanks.

[Hey folks. It's been a good while since I came around with my Early Access release for Graceward, but AGS is the gift that keeps on giving, and in turn, the game is now finished and on steam/itch as of today for $8.99.Graceward is, unsurprisingly, an adventure game. It is also a 90s-style shooting game. And it's also got some RPG stuff going on. All of which is blended into a fine mush of delicious adventure game soup.]

And there's a even a free demo available of the first few hours on the Itch page as well, if you'd just like to give it a try.

The King's Quest V jail cell is a good soft-lock, because if you don't rescue a random mouse in the first act of the game, if I recall correctly you're just stuck in jail, like, forever. But it's not a game over or anything, and it's a single room, so you can waste a decent bit of time trying to brute force the puzzle. When in reality, you've been a dead man walking for the past half hour of the game. But almost anything Sierra is basically cheating for this question.
