Chicory: A Colorful Tale is sometimes loosely called an "IGF winner" — the precise record is worth stating carefully.

Wins

At the 2022 BAFTA Games Awards (ceremony 7 April 2022), Chicory won the Family category.1

Finalist placements and nominations

  • Independent Games Festival Awards 2021: finalist for the Seumas McNally Grand Prize (won that year by Umurangi Generation), with Honorable Mentions in Excellence in Audio, Excellence in Design, and Excellence in Visual Art.2
  • The Game Awards 2021: nominated for Games for Impact (won by Life is Strange: True Colors).3

Why the precision matters

Sources conflate finalist placements with wins surprisingly often. Per this wiki's Verifiability policy, award claims cite the awarding body or contemporaneous ceremony coverage — the IGF's own archive is the source for the 2021 record.2
