Do you  dare to look beyond the grave? This game jam is predominantly for tabletop games, but also for comics, zines, and art about what lies beyond the veil of death. These games come in many genres, from the ridiculous gore of zombie survival to the shadowed mystery and intrigue of vampires to the unsettling hauntings created by spectres with unfinished business. These games can even be quiet and contemplative, as the act of staring down death can certainly bring a new perspective into life.

For this jam, the task is simple. Create a game (or other type of art) that addresses the topic of death and what happens afterward in a novel way. There will be a secondary theme released at the time of the jam’s start, but it is not strictly necessary to participation, just another place that you can draw inspiration from.  This jam is not ranked, and it has a pretty relaxed time frame, so take your time and remember to have a little fun with it! This is mostly designed so that people can get a taste of something unique centered on a subject that comes up in what is already a vast array of different types of fiction. Have fun and happy game making!

Rules:

1. You may work alone or in a team.

This can be anything from ghosts to zombies, vampires, mortals venturing into the underworld, and anything else that you can think of that relates to undeath. You do not have to use the secondary theme, but if you are looking for a little extra inspiration, that is a good place to look.

4. You may submit no more than 3 entries to this jam.
5. These pieces do not have to stay free forever, but for the duration of the jam, please keep any submission free or PWYW. You can also choose to provide community copies for this jam, but make sure that you keep the games and artwork made for this jam accessible to everyone that participates.
6. Tabletop games, zines, comics, and art are all encouraged. Anything playable should be playable as a standalone, so no hacks or supplementary materials.
