Interrogation wins NGDC in Dubrovnik

 

The fourteenth qualifier of the Nordic Game Discovery Contest Season III took place on 11 April at Reboot Develop Blue in Dubrovnik, Croatia.

Returning to the Dalmatian coast for a third NGDC season, hopes were high for another great contest with really strong games. And the expectations were certainly fulfilled, with the judges having a very difficult time picking a winner from among this year’s outstanding competitors.

In the end, it was the narrative-driven conversational puzzle game Interrogation from Critique Gaming that came out on top.

Check out the teaser trailer:

Congratulations to Critique Gaming and see you for the NGDC Grand Finals at NG19 next month!

Also a big thanks to the organisers of Reboot Develop Blue, who also once again did a great job organising their event, gathering many of the most talented developers from Croatia and across Europe to Dubrovnik.
