Submissions are open from Sept. 24th to October 22nd.

Every year, I run a horror-themed game jam for my community and livestream all the submissions (as well as put them all onto YouTube). This year, I'm trying to get a wider area of influence and interest, to hopefully bring some new blood to the jam! The past couple of years have produced some AWESOME games, but the amount of submissions has started to taper off, so I'm hoping to change that.

I've tweaked the name, revised the themes (usually I do a more complex one and have the community deduce hints to reveal it early, but this year will be a little more approachable!), added challenges for the first time, and am going to put my favorite game on high prominence on both my Twitch and YouTube channels.

The Theme this year is to pick from one of my favorite horror genres and create a game around that! Several of the challenges include incorporating dialog I wrote, using horror tropes to cast your game's characters, and more!

There are no monetary rewards, but besides special Discord roles in my server for the winners, I will also be picking my favorite game to become the showcased video on my YouTube channel as well as a Channel Trailer on my Twitch channel.

Thanks for checking it out!
