Game Jam #2

🎯 Theme

HORROR / FEVER DREAM

Dive into the unsettling and surreal. Create games that unnerve, disorient, or haunt the player. Whether it's psychological horror, grotesque fever-dream visuals, eerie atmospheres, or nightmarish logic that bends reality — make something that gets under people's skin. Jump scares, slow dread, bizarre dreamscapes, distorted worlds — all fair game.

Single Player games only.
