VGG x Summer Game Fest 2026: Fern's Best of Show - Patience Is A Virtue

Every year, once the dust has settled and the games have been showcased, we sit down and pick one game that stood out the most to us amidst ALL of it. One game that we wanted to make sure you didn't forget, because we certainly won't. Fern's pick for 2026 was Patience Is A Virtue from ‪@teaisfortoby‬. This word-based adventure game sees players puzzling out how to borrow the words of others to say exactly the right things in exactly the right circumstances. The art is stunning, the gameplay captures social anxiety brilliantly, and its centering of chronic illness from a trans masc perspective makes it an extremely special project. Featured in ‪@WholesomeGames‬ Direct, Patience Is A Virtue is absolutely a game to keep an eye on moving forward.
