German Teams Win Three Games For Change Awards 2025
The Games for Change Awards 2025 were a resounding success – both for the cause and for German teams, who impressed in three categories. Game of the Year went to Indika, developed by Odd Meter and published by 11 Bit Studios.
The game Indika also won the Narrative category, beating out Closer the Distance by Osmotic Studios, which was also nominated. Since Closer the Distance also had to give way to Neva by Nomada in the Gameplay category, the Hamburg-based Osmotic team came away empty-handed, even though they were the only German team to receive two nominations. Slow Bros., who were nominated in the Innovation category with Harold Halibut, also failed to win a Games For Change Award.
