And the winner is⌠Ghost Haunting! đťđ
Ghost Haunting received the Criticâs Choice Award 2026 at the Indie Game Fest in Cologne!
It was the perfect ending for an already rewarding weekend: Seeing players explore Ghost Haunting, share laughs together, and enthusiastically recommend the game to friends and other visitors was truly inspiring for us. One of the best parts was watching even newcomers to the point-and-click genre connect with the game and have fun with it. (that's not something to take for granted for a genre that's supposed to be dead)
A big thank you to Stefan Schmidt from Indie Hub & the entire Indie Game Fest team for organizing such a great event, and to everyone who visited our booth and took the time to play Ghost Haunting and share feedback with us. Your reactions and encouragement truly mean a lot.
This award also belongs to our incredible team: @talibarde , @marcogroenwoldt , @paintpaul_ , @christoph_dev , @chakra03 , @chalk._.tea , @kimvuaudio , @m0stlyvoid_ , @khaospixel , @_nikeie_@vanessa_donelly and @tscholdes . Thank you for all the passion, creativity, and dedication you put into this project. Weâre extremely proud of what we already created together.
Yesterday we hosted two participants for Girlsâ Day
It was a great experience on our side and who knows, maybe weâll see them again as future game developers one day.
Big thanks to #Games Syndicate Cologne e.V. for making us aware of the initiative and connecting us to it.
Weâre really grateful that opportunities like Girlsâ Day exist.
Thanks @der_girlsday for making this possibleâ¨
