It’s this time of the year again, and we crave horror games! And this year… the games might not be what they seemed…
The theme is simple! The game might not even look like a horror game at first, but something about it must feel odd, and quickly reveal the game is dangerous or dark… Think of the classic creepypastas, or give it an original twist, maybe even parody the concept!
How to participate:
- Join the Molegato’s Lowpoly Mines discord
- Go to the Events and collaborations channel, there’ll be a thread for the gamejam discussion. Introduce yourself.
- You or your team can start developing your game!
- When you’re done, link to your build in the Gamejam Entries thread.
- There will be a stream playing entries and discussing them (date tba).
- On October 23rd, the winners will be announced, and they can contact me about their prize!
Rules:
- Keep entries SFW/SFM. Being a horror gamejam, violence or gore are permitted to an extent, but anything that could get you banned on discord/twitch/socials will get you banned here too. Use your best judgement!
- You can make groups of as many members as you want, or develop solo.
- Absolutely no GenAI or vibecoding allowed. We’re humans.
- If your entry is mostly finished by the deadline but still needs some tweaks or bugfixes, send it anyway along with a note about the bugs and how to enjoy the game despite them. It’ll be appreciated anyway!
- Have fun and don’t stress too much! The small timeframe requires a small project, not crunch time! Health always comes first.
