2025 AMES Game Showcase Contest!!!

Prompt for the 2025 Game Showcase is:

From the literal masks we've worn in recent years to the metaphorical ones we put on every day, the idea of masks is deeply woven into our lives. We wear masks to protect, to conceal, to transform, and to express. Whether it's navigating social expectations, hiding secrets, embracing a new identity, or even stepping into the role of a hero (or villain), masks shape how we interact with the world and how the world sees us. Your prompt for this showcase is "The Masks We Wear." There are countless ways to explore this theme—be creative, take risks, and most importantly, have fun! We can’t wait to see what you create

Please see the FAQ under "Community"!
