Hi! I have already submitted a game for this jam, one I made for another jam with the same name, but I had another idea I wanted to experiment with:

So, invader races have butchered the God/Goddess, Verra, and scattered the pieces in a magic labyrinth, to prevent them from gathering. The pieces came back to life as monsters and demons, and live in a ridiculous, hell-like society resembling the paintings of El Bosco.

Monsters come in various shapes, sizes, colors and powers, and they'll often eat other ones to grow in power and gain new mutations. There's a myth, that if enough monsters eat each other, Verra would come back to life again. 

I envision the game as an OSRish experiment where I'd tackle the race issue by removing humans and making everyone queer monsters. There'd be tables to decide your form, color, appendages, and other features, and they might change as you eat other monsters. I'm thinking of a dark cartoonish aesthetic akin to that show by nickelodeon, Real Monsters:

The idea from the game comes from a setting I've created for a Burning wheel campaign, so it'd be awesome to be able to turn it into a game.

My biggest challenge is to narrow the concept down to something I can finish in time, instead of being too ambitious and dropping it later.
