Curious Expedition 2 has just been named winner of the “Best Indie Game” category for GamesCom 2020 awards, subsequently impressing both its publisher Thunderfulgames and developer Maschimensch. So much so that Johannes Kristmann, Co-founder and Art Director at Maschinen-Mensch had the following to say.

“We’re humbled and honored to receive this award with so many ridiculously talented indie developers participating in Gamescom this year. Thank you!” 

In addition, Curious Expedition 2’s nomination was made earlier during this evening’s GamesCom by a jury formed from German and international gaming journalists, well-known YouTubers, and other experts. They all made their selection from more than 140 submissions, making Curious Expedition 2 winning of “Best Indie Game” a truly impressive feat and an overall attestment to the quality of the game.
