Welcome to Chatsubo's second jam, which will start on the 16th October and end on the 30th. The aim of the jam is to get devs working together to make and finish a small game.

The theme is "horror in unexpected places". It can be any genre or style - interactive fiction, RPG, Action, Visual Novel, whatever you want to use to explore the theme.

Join our Discord server to find a jam team or share your progress: https://discord.gg/NrdThkH

• Follow the theme as best you can.
• You may work in a team or as an individual. We recommend you team up with others so you can finish with something more polished.
• You may use resources such as graphics, audio, code etc that were made prior to the jam. You may use open source or store bought assets.
• You may use any game creation engine or tools you want in the jam.
• You may join multiple teams or games. Voting will be on the game submissions and not the participants.
• Create your game within the time frame and submit it before the jam ends.
• Rate other people's games fairly and honestly.
• Have fun! (not mandatory)

Games submitted will not be visible until voting begins. Submitters and contributors will be able to rate entries and choose the winner. Once the jam is over, there will be 3 days to vote on your favourite submissions. The overall jam winner will be the winner of the "Best Use of Theme" category, but games will be judged on the following:

• Best Use of Theme: How well does the game follow the chosen theme?
• Most Innovative: Is there an original mechanic or idea in the game?
• Most Fun to Play: Was it engaging and fun to play? Do you want to keep playing?
• Best Graphics: Does it look good, does the style fit the game?
• Best Audio: Do the music, sound effects and voice acting fit the game? Do they sound good?
• Best Story: Is the story well-written? Good characters and dialogue?
• Best Controls: How well does the game play?

There will be no prizes except bragging rights and maybe a spring in your step.

Best of luck everyone!
