Question about first person requirement

Hi! I noticed in the rules there is one specifically that says it has to be first-person perspective. I had an idea I've been kicking around for a while, and I was wondering if this would be okay... to illustrate what I want to do, I've taken a still from Pool of Radiance and added the effect I'm going for.


It still would look exactly like a dungeon crawler, but the party would be visible on screen, thus making it third person. I couldn't help but wonder maybe the "first person" requirement meant it had to look like a Gold Box game or The Bard's Tale, which it still does. The party image would really only be a UI, and the game would still be almost exactly like other dungeon crawlers.

While not being exactly what we're looking for in this jam I won't disqualify games where camera is behind the characters. There has been a couple commercially released games like this which I've allowed to be added to the website, so I can't be a hypocrit and disallow that in this jam :)

Thank you!
