RPGs?

The rules state that story-based games are aloud, even if they aren't visual novels. Are RPGs allowed then?

Host

If the focus of the RPG is narrative-based, then it's allowed. If the RPG focuses more--for example--on fighting, then it would not be story-based. (Some RPGs do not focus on story, which would make them better-fitting for a jam that focuses on whatever mechanics the RPG does focus on. That way, more people looking for a game like that specific RPG can find it more easily.)

Thanks for telling me!

Would this mean, it's okay to submit a game that allows the player to walk around like 2D RPG, but is like 95% conversations?

So RPG like To The Moon is okay right, since it is very story oriented?

Submitted

I’m guessing yes. That’s what I’m submitting in any case.
