Do you prefer making lighthearted, wholesome games, or do you enjoy creating unsettling horror experiences?

In The Goblin Jam, you get to decide.

This jam challenges you to make a game that fits the theme "Cute or Creepy." You can take it in either direction—create something charming and heartwarming, or go all in on eerie and disturbing. Both styles will be judged together under the same theme, so it's up to you how you interpret it.

Rules

Your game must fit the theme "Cute or Creepy" (or a mix of both).

Any genre, engine, or style is welcome.

Work solo or as a team.

Keep it respectful and within community guidelines.
