Welcome to the Isolation Game Jam!
We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.
- Orson Welles
The goal is to create a small, playable game in one week inspired by the theme: Isolation.
Theme
Interpret this however you like:
- Physical separation
- Emotional loneliness
- A survival setting
- Or something completely abstract
Rules
- Keep it safe for work and respectful.
- Scope: Aim for a playable prototype (it doesn’t need to be polished).
- Assets: free/CC assets are allowed, but original art/audio is encouraged.
- You may use any engine or tools (Unity, Godot, Unreal, etc.).
- You may not submit old projects
Judging Criteria
Each game will be scored in these categories:
| Replayability | Does it invite multiple playthroughs? |
| Creativity | Is it original or memorable? |
| Story/Theme Integration | How well does it capture “Isolation”? |
| Playability | Is it stable and intuitive? |
| Physics/Mechanics | Do the interactions feel solid? |
| Fun Factor | Is it enjoyable to play? |
| Polish | How refined is the presentation (UI clarity, visuals, audio, user experience, overall finish)? |
The primary criteria is Story/Theme Integration and this will determine each submissions overall ranking.
