Forever Jamming - Horror Sprint:

Something is following you.

You never quite see it, but you always know it's there.

Create a horror game inspired by the theme Don't Look Behind You. Whether you build a tense survival experience, a psychological story or something completely unexpected, the fear should come from what the player doesn't see.

This is a 48-hour sprint designed to challenge your creativity, encourage fast decision-making and celebrate atmospheric horror.

Rules:

Theme

Don't Look Behind You

Interpret the theme however you like, but your game should clearly connect to it.

Core Rule

The threat must never be fully visible to the player.

You can hint at it through:

  • Audio
  • Shadows
  • Reflections
  • Environmental storytelling
  • Movement

Leaving things to the player's imagination is part of the challenge.

Optional Challenge — One Chance

No checkpoints or saves. One life only.

Team Size

Solo developers and teams are both welcome.

Engine

Any game engine is allowed.

Assets

Pre-made assets are allowed, but please mention them on your game page. Original work is always encouraged.

Most importantly: finish your game. A short, complete experience is always better than an unfinished one.

I hope all you horror lovers have fun with this short game jam and that some great horror game are made! 

See you at the jam! Keep on Forever Jamming!
