This is not a jam, but a place to gather games that are Underground Games.

Note: Any "A.I" game will be deleted and the submitter banned.

There is no time limit, no winner, and no contest. By entering your game, you show that you identify your work as a part of the Underground Scene and it's principles.

These are:

0. Underground Gaming perceives games as a form of art.

1. Underground Games are non-commercial. They shun the logic of the markets and question the capitalist system. They attempt to create and use spaces for free creativity.

2. The Underground Gaming scene considers everybody as equal. Developers and players are both participants in the process of turning an abstract piece into a played game. Every form of group-focused enmity (including, but not limited, to ableism, classism, racism, sexism, homo- and transphobia) is ousted from its communities.

3. The Underground Gaming scene lives and dies by the exchange and interaction from its participants. It can only prevail through mutual support, acknowledgment, and feedback.

4. A Underground Game is a game that its creators consider to be complete. A work in progress or a demo is not considered an Underground Game until it is finished. The possibility to extend a completed Underground Game is explicitly supported.

5. Underground Gaming tries to empower people. It supports the sharing of knowledge and tries to reduce barriers. The scene helps people interested in Underground Game development to reduce dependencies from capitalist corporations, but does not reject creative work if dependencies exist.

6. Underground Gaming supports other non-commercial communities and movements. It seeks exchange and collaboration, as long as they share the fundamental values of the scene.

7. The Underground scene isn’t carried or lead by individuals. Whenever possible, a democratic self-organization for communities is established.

8. The Underground scene is open to editing and modification.
