Welcome to the first Hacktic PS1 Horror game jam!

You will have 7 days to create and publish a PS1 style horror game. The jam starts and the theme will be announced at 00:00:00 CEST on Monday 9th October, and the submission deadline is 23:59:59 CEST on Sunday 15th October. After this, there will be a 7 day voting period. At the end of the voting period, I will play the top rated games in each category and feature them in a video on my channel.

THEME

The theme for the jam is: Don't Look

RULES

1. You must make a horror game in a PS1 graphical style. Other than this, you are free to interpret the theme or use whatever tools or engines you like.
2. You may work individually or in a team of any size.
3. You may use existing engines, system code and music, but the majority of the gameplay code and assets must be made during the jam.
4. No exceptions will be made for late entries. Ensure you submit your entry with plenty of time to spare.
5. You must submit a Windows or WebGL build of your game, else I will not be able to play it or feature it in my video
6. Bear in mind that although you are making a horror game, if it includes excessive gore, nudity, or foul language, I will not be able to feature it in my video. For this reason I suggest you focus on other forms of horror.
7. Entries that can be played in the browser usually get more votes. For this reason, it is recommended to upload a WebGL build of your game if possible.
8. Don't forget to have fun!

VOTING CRITERIA

Games will be rated in 3 categories:

1. Authenticity of the PS1 graphical style, taking into account hardware quirks and limitations
2. Scariness of the game
3. Overall quality of the game.
