Welcome to a game jam where history deliberately goes off the rails!


Imagine a world where history has taken a different path.
An ancient era — Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Roaring Twenties...
in which advanced technology appears long before its time.

What if the Romans had drones?
What if knights wore powered armor?
What if the Egyptians built their pyramids with 3D printers?

THE CONCEPT

  • Choose a past era.
  • Add an anachronistic technology.
  • Imagine the world that results — and create a game set in that universe.

CONSTRAINTS

  • The game must be playable in a browser on Itch.io (HTML5, WebGL, etc.).
  • The theme is mandatory: an ancient era + anachronistic technology.
  • Any game style is accepted (platformer, puzzle, narrative, strategy...).
  • Solo or team projects are welcome.

RESOURCES ALLOWED

  • Reuse of code, assets, or engines is allowed.
  • Open source is encouraged but not required.
  • AI-generated content is allowed but should not be the main part of the project.

EVALUATION

  • Creativity of the universe
  • Consistency of the anachronism
  • Gameplay
  • Visual and audio style
