At Earth's margins, you are naked. A speck in the endless white, you keel into the piling layers of snow. Not a trace will be found.

'FRIGID COLD HORROR jRPG JAM' invites you to join a two-month exploration of subzero temperatures.

Theme 

  • Create a jRPG that embodies "Frigid Cold" to you. From harrowing journeys through frozen tundras to the eerie stillness of ice-covered waters. If you're just here for the aesthetic, that's fine too!
  • Some aesthetic inspiration off the top of my head: The Long Dark, Until Dawn, The Thing, The Shining, To Build a Fire, or even the haunting landscapes of The Day After Tomorrow.
  • Examples of Horror jRPGs: Parasite Eve, Fear and Hunger, Shadow Hearts, OMORI, Sweet Home, older Shin Megami Tensei, etc.
  • This is not limited to the Arctic, or even Earth. Let's get creative!
