Spring Thing 2020

Spring Thing, also known as the Fall Fooferall, focuses on bringing together new text games of all kinds: choice-based stories, gamebooks, hypertext fictions, visual novels, text adventures, narrative roguelikes, and wild new experiments.

Entries can be nominated for an overall Best In Show ribbon, or a custom Audience Award that can be anything the nominator likes: from “Best Story” to “Favorite Twine” to “Cutest Vampires.”

Late Harvest

For this year's festival, authors who submitted an intent to enter but were unable to get their game completed by the deadline could instead submit to the Late Harvest, a special showcase of games outside the main festival. Other than the late deadline, Late Harvest games function exactly like Back Harvest games: authors do not take part in the prize pool and are not eligible for ribbon nominations.
