Welcome to the Meat Mania Horror Game Jam from Strange Creature Games and HORRORVISUALS, and sponsored by Critical Reflex! The theme will be announced when the jam begins. Read below for more info about the jam and the $185 prizepool!

It's time to let the creative juices flow out from that head of yours... 

Your job is to make a horror game in 2 weeks themed around meat cleaving mania of all kinds, from frenzied butchers, demonic meat creatures and sinister sausage parties-whatever you do, keep it meaty.

Some flavor...

It's late in the evening and you've had a rough day. You're walking home now, it's starting to get late though. You hear rustling of a bush but when you look over your shoulder there's nothing to be seen.

As you continue your walk you feel as if something is looking at you from afar. Picking up your pace, you feel a shiver down your spine. Suddenly you feel a blunt object crack on the back of your skull, rattling your brain and knocking you unconscious.

You wake up hanging upside down, your feet bound by chains attached to the ceiling. Around you are several large hunks of meat. The hiss and grind of a saw and chopping of a meat cleaver can be heard from the room over…

The Meat Mania Game Jam will begin on January 6th (12 PM EST) and will end January 20th (6 PM EST). The winners will be announced shortly after a 2-week judging period.
