Welcome to the Static Camera Game Jam, where we celebrate the timeless allure of the static camera perspective in gaming. Originating from classic titles like Resident Evil, Signalis, and Alone in the Dark, the static camera offers a unique gameplay experience that immerses players in atmospheric environments and heightens suspense like no other.

What is a static camera, you ask? It's a fixed camera angle that remains stationary throughout gameplay, providing a carefully curated view of the game world. Unlike dynamic cameras that follow the player's movements, static cameras create a sense of unease and anticipation, leaving players guessing what horrors might lurk just beyond their field of vision.

In horror games, the static camera is a master of manipulation, skillfully orchestrating tension and fear. By restricting visibility and controlling the player's perspective, it amplifies every creak, shadow, and distant noise, keeping players on the edge of their seats. The result? Heart-pounding moments of terror that linger long after the game is over.

Join us in this game jam to explore the potential of the static camera in crafting spine-chilling experiences. Whether you're a seasoned developer or a first-time jammer, this is your chance to unleash your creativity and showcase the power of atmospheric storytelling.
