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: School of Dark Arts

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 - Newcomer: The protagonist is a new student or a new teacher at a school that teaches dark magic to its students.

2 - Disciplinary Action: There's a scene in the game where someone is given some horrifying punishment for breaking the rules.

3 - Dark Ritual: There's a puzzle in the game where the protagonist needs to perform some kind of dark magic ritual correctly.
