Odd spec-fic games that I love despite jankiness or other objective issues

Recommendations by EJ

... from IFComp, specifically!

Most years, I encounter one game out of the IFComp bunch that makes me go "This won't score well and that's probably fair but I can tell it's going to gnaw on my brain for a long time." These are those games.

Technically to reveal that *OVER* isn't strictly realism is a spoiler; please forgive me for that!
