At Earth's margins, you are naked. A speck in the endless white, you keel into the piling layers of snow. Not a trace will be found.
'FRIGID COLD HORROR jRPG JAM' invites you to join a two-month exploration of subzero temperatures.
Theme
- Create a jRPG that embodies "Frigid Cold" to you. From harrowing journeys through frozen tundras to the eerie stillness of ice-covered waters. If you're just here for the aesthetic, that's fine too!
- Some aesthetic inspiration off the top of my head: The Long Dark, Until Dawn, The Thing, The Shining, To Build a Fire, or even the haunting landscapes of The Day After Tomorrow.
- Examples of Horror jRPGs: Parasite Eve, Fear and Hunger, Shadow Hearts, OMORI, Sweet Home, older Shin Megami Tensei, etc.
- This is not limited to the Arctic, or even Earth. Let's get creative!
Rules
- Submit as many entries as you want.
- Submissions must be free, at least for the extent of the jam
- Submissions should be completed mostly during the jam
- Use any engine to complete your project! (Please understand that tabletop games will be more difficult to test)

- The first and second place prizes cannot be won by the same developer.
- To be eligible for prizes, your team must consist of 4 or fewer people (Team Semicolon is not eligible for prizes)
