I realise that very few people on this forum play IF (or seem to visit it at the moment!) but you the XYZZY Awards 2017 has released the finalist list.
If you haven't already, you should really try and play a few of the games on this list, I particular liked
Eat Me and
American Angst.
If you have played some of them, it is time to vote -
XYZZY Awards 2017 finalists.
