What is the essence of this jam?
You will create a game that gives the player an unpleasant, uncomfortable experience. This time, we're not making a horror game—you don't have to scare anyone (though you can). Do what many developers are already good at—make the player angry.
Sources of Inspiration
Some concepts to get you started:
- Mechanics that don't work the way players expect
- Visual and audio distortions
- Unfair gameplay
