"To be in a liminal space means to be on the precipice of something new but not quite there yet. You can be in a liminal space physically, emotionally, or metaphorically."

Welcome to the Liminal Memory Jam

What does it consist off?

The Liminal Memory Jam consists of making a SURREAL game about liminality, nostalgia, eerieness,  limbo, atmosphere, ect.  

A game that connects with the player.

The objective is to make an exploration type game that creates that feeling of sad nostalgia for the player, for example making a game with lots of liminal spaces and with a negative aura (Like Wet-Dry World in Supermario 64). Of course with a creepy aesthetic but not a horror game.

For example you can make games about being in limbo, or being stuck in an empty atmospheric N64 game,  or maybe a game where you explore lost memories, or a big forest, or even the dreams of someone.

Rules:

- The game must be surreal:  Make the experience weird!

-The game can be atmospheric and unnerving but not horror:  The goal is to make a game that connects with the player in the sense of making them feel nostalgic, unnerved and disturbed. Make it distrubing, don't throw jumpscares at their face! 

-The game is freestyle: The game can be in many diffrent styles aesthetically, ps1 style, realistic style, cardboard style, n64 style... Go crazy! (P.S it will be a bit hard to make a game like this in 2D in my opinion, so i suggest 3D but who knows)

-It must be exploration based: The gamplay must be exploration based, try to focus more on the aesthetic, story and atmosphere rather than gameplay and mechanics

-Everyone can help!: There is no limit to how many people can develop the game!
