Welcome to the Shitty Horror Game Jam!

Have you ever played/seen those horror games that are so bad, you couldn't take them seriously at all? Well in this jam, that is exactly the type of game you will make. 

Normally in game jams, you try to make your game as good as possible. In this jam however, your game will be judged on how bad of a horror game it is. Is it so bad that you can laugh at it? Is it filled with awful jumpscares? Is it 3D with most of its assets taken from the internet, poorly put together? 

Theme:

The enemy is stupid... and needs help

I wanted a theme that wasn't that restrictive because I wanted all games to be different from each other. For this theme, you could for example make it so you will get weird objectives like having to open the door for the enemy for no reason. Or maybe the enemy is disabled and needs a wheelchair to move around. There are a lot of possibilites. Just make sure the enemy is stupid. Here are some extra (very optional) ideas:

Rating:

The game will be ranked by me against the following criteria:

Overall - How the game was overall.

Theme - How well the game followed the given theme.

Shitty horror game-ness - How bad of a horror game the game is and how much it resembles an awful horror game.

Gameplay - How fun and engaging the game is to play, are the mechanics innovative?

Graphics - How bad the game looks - It probably shouldn't look too bad, as it should still be a horror game.

Audio - How bad the game audio is, but it should not be loud to the point where it's damaging in any way. Keep the volume reasonable.

Story - How bad of a story the game has. The game should have a story that you can understand but it should still be poorly written.

Voice acting - Is there voice acting in the game and how bad is it? E.g. did Chris Pratt voice act or did you voice act with your bad microphone?

Asset flip: How badly did you asset flip the game? E.g. did you poorly combine assets from the internet and how many assets did you use?

Ending - How impactful was the ending, was it memorable? (in a bad way)
