Board 8 > [BIGE] Day 11: Papers, Please v Wandersong; Return of the Obra Dinn v Deltarune

(+) Yeah! (+)

@TheArkOfTurus, I'm going to have to remind you that, as with UF8 earlier in the contest, editing votes is against the rules. Like with UF8, I'm letting your vote stand; please be more careful next time, though.

First, please read the rules:

- You may only vote once (for one game) per match; if you have not played at least one of the games in a given match, please don't vote in said match. No using alts to circumvent this rule, unless you would like your votes to stop counting for the rest of this contest.
- Please do not edit or delete your posts.
- Days will last strictly for 24 hours each - no more and no less, not even by a second. Votes posted outside of this limit will not count.
- Any matches that are tied after 24 hours have passed will be rerun as part of the next set of matches, with both days counting cumulatively.
- Also, I reserve the right to add or change rules as necessary.

With that out of the way, I hope you all have fun!

Here are today's matches:

Papers, Please vs. Wandersong
Return of the Obra Dinn vs. Deltarune

And here's the whole bracket, for reference: https://challonge.com/B8BIGE

Oh sorry, I didn't change my vote, I just edited to capitalize Isaac. Won't do it again.

Yeah, it's fine, since I knew you weren't trying to tamper with your vote. As long as I can tell what you're voting for (which I could regardless), capitalizing it doesn't matter.

It matters to me damn it.

(Yeah, I know I shouldn't have.)

Hah, that's a funny ballot. But really, give it up for Lucas Pope's uncanny ability to create small masterpieces; simple concepts with big ideas. Wandersong is awfully cute, but it does little to define itself beyond the presentation. And while Undertale has a lofty place in my heart, I wasn't nearly as engaged by the world and characters of Deltarune. Last thirty-or-so minutes make the experience worthwhile, but until that point, it's all a bit half-baked.

I'm not sure Deltarune should have even been able to qualify, given that it is... not a full game yet.

Rules:

1a. Indie games that are currently in an alpha, beta, or other public testing phase and have not fully released are allowed.

I already covered this, way back in the nominations topic.

And yes, I know Deltarune is a somewhat different situation to open alphas and betas, but the fact that it's available for the public to play makes it eligible regardless.
