You need to incorporate the Theme into your game in some way and before you submit it, you will need to write atleast 1 short sentence about how your game fits the Theme of the game jam. It's completely up to you how you interpret the theme. Feel free to be creative with it.

Theme: Realm of Nightmares

Bonus Challenges: Unlike the Theme, these are entirely optional. Feel free to do one, two, all of them or ignore them completely.

For this game jam, the optional challenges are the following three:

1 - Land of Dreams: The game is about the protagonist exploring their own dreams and/or someone else's dreams, travelling through different surreal and horrifying areas in a somewhat non-linear fashion.

2 - Lucid Dreaming: The protagonist can acquire new abilities through exploration that allow them to manipulate their environment and/or their own form in different ways.

3 - Moths: Moths feature prominently in the game.
