The horror game also cornered Best Audio Design, while the Guildford studio also went home (via a shortcut through the spooky forest) with a third award – Creativity in Games – for last year’s The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes.
Two awards went to ustwo Games, one for being the Best Small Studio and the other for the charming Alba: A Wildlife Adventure (which is currently free on the Epic Games Store).
