Welcome to the Frenzy Phobia Game Jam, an immersive experience tailored exclusively for horror game enthusiasts! Frenzy Phobia beckons those brave enough to delve into the shadows and craft spine-chilling tales that send shivers down players' spines. Are you the mastermind capable of injecting sheer terror into our collective gaming consciousness?

This game jam is not for the faint of heart; it's a realm where nightmares come to life, and the macabre meets creativity. We're on the lookout for daring souls who can weave narratives that crawl under the skin and linger long after the game is over.

Frenzy Phobia challenges you to be the alchemist of fear, concocting an elixir that transforms ordinary gaming into an immersive horror experience. Can you forge nightmares that haunt players' dreams, infusing terror into the very core of our gaming community?

So, gather your courage, harness your creativity, and step into the abyss with Frenzy Phobia. This is more than a game jam; it's a descent into the depths of horror, an opportunity to make hearts race and pulses quicken. Do you think you have what it takes to make fear course through our veins?

Join us, if you dare, and let the Frenzy Phobia Game Jam be the canvas for your darkest nightmares. The challenge is set — now, can you summon the horror that lurks within and etch it onto the digital landscape?"

THEME IS CURSED SPIRITS!

Planning before the jam is fine, and you are welcome to reuse some assets and code from previous projects, but it is something you should limit.

In the spirit of participating in a game jam, you should keep most of your development during the jam period to get the most out of it!

Preparation ahead of the jam is encouraged, and feel free to leverage certain assets and code from past projects. However, it's advisable to exercise restraint in doing so.

Embracing the true essence of a game jam involves dedicating a substantial portion of your development efforts to the jam's designated timeframe. This approach ensures that you extract the maximum creative potential and learning experiences from the event. So, while prior planning is acceptable, strive to make the majority of your game's development occur within the jam period to fully immerse yourself in the exhilarating challenge!

Your game can be developed using any engine, as long as your game can be played via the browser and/or on Windows!

Don't stress! Incomplete or buggy games are entirely welcome. Remember, perfection is not the goal here – every submission is embraced, flaws and all!

Games with mature content are welcome, provided they are appropriately flagged. In instances of disturbing or inappropriate content, we trust jammers to exercise common sense and flag such content on the game page.

Please be aware that we retain the right to remove any games that are deemed inappropriate or not flagged correctly. If you have any uncertainties, don't hesitate to reach out for clarification. Your cooperation ensures a respectful and enjoyable experience for all participants.
