Beyond The Player Game Jam

Welcome, friends, to the “Beyond The Player” Game Jam!

Get ready to challenge the rules of the game. Here, you don’t control the player; you control the world around them. Shift realities, twist environments, and craft experiences that bend expectations.

Whether you’re an artist, programmer, designer, or dreamer, this is your chance to explore, experiment, and innovate. Push boundaries, embrace the unexpected, and most importantly, have fun!

Your canvas is the environment. Your imagination is the controller. Are you ready to step Beyond The Player?

Control The Game, Not the Player (subject to minor changes)
