There have been loads of really fantastic entries I've played this time (everyone give yourself a pat on the back :smile:) and it's impossible to choose the "best". But the game that most surprised me with its excellence this time round is https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/its-happening-again

If a text-based, surreal, body-horror nightmare sounds like something you'd like, I implore you to play this game (less than 2 hours to rate!).

Incredible writing.

Incredible art.

Incredible audio.

One of my all-time favourite text-based games.

There isn't much more to say, try it!
