A jam for the /agdg/.

Video games can be divided into genres and molds. Each of those genres and molds hold usual conventions and expectations of how they should work and what they should contain - tropes. The idea of this jam is to take one of them (or more if you feel ambitious) and subvert it.

What does it mean "to subvert"?

It means to take a commonly held expectation of a genre. Build up to it. Create an impression that the expectation is perfectly logical. Once the expectation is set, it is avoided and not actually brought to fulfillment. The expectation is substituted by something different instead.
