The World is not as it Appears

Description

This is the fourth philosophy game jam. The first was in January 2019, the second was in October 2019, and the third was in October 2020. Philosophy is filled with thought experiments and complex ideas that are ideal for making video games; ones that are both educational and fun. From ethical dilemmas, to existential dread, from a god game about the problem of evil to game exploring the crazy thought experiments in the philosophy of mind, there are tons of available topics for games about philosophy.

Rules

1. Make a game, preferably a video game, but tabletop games are allowed
2. You can use any assets for which you have a license (try to stick to ones that are freely available or that you made)
3. You can use any game engine
4. Games must be made between 2021/10/08 and 2021/10/15
5. Try to follow the theme, which will be announced at the beginning of the jam.

Prizes

There will be game keys for the top overall game and the top theme game. If they are the same game, then the second place theme game will get one of the keys. The games will be valued around $20. Obviously, the host will not be eligible for the prizes.
