Another game jam in the books! Thank you for your patience as our band of judges played each game. I want to shout out to the amazing individuals who came forward and helped with judging this year: Thank you @Voltseon, @Ranko, @Monika~♡, @Mashirosakura, and @KennyCatches! Did you get to try out all 29 entries?! I hope you did, because it's time for the Community Spotlight vote! But I'm getting ahead of myself, I should probably tell you who won Judge's Spotlight first!
While you could guess who won through process of elimination by looking at the poll, let me announce the winners proper! The judges as always have the difficult task of narrowing down the list, which means five Judge Spotlights this time around! Here we go, in order of release:

In hopes of saving their world, Faeris and Leru venture forth in to a long since abandoned place. Some call it a place of worship. Others, unhallow ground. Tales say that a past God-Queen was taken to this place to live in isolation for the rest of eternity. As to why, the true reason has been lost to time. But as long as there is a chance for salvation, and if this deity may hold it, they will seek it out.
