Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a very misunderstood and heavily stigmatized mental health condition. Most resources - be it books or online content - about the topic are often extreme rage-bait, outright wrong, or stigmatizing against pwNPD (= people with NPD). This game jam takes the opposite approach: It promotes awareness and compassion for pwNPD, which is actually overdue. If you are unfamiliar with the topic, feel free to read my recent blog post as an entrance into the subject matter.

• Join if you are a pwNPD or simply want to support the cause
• Every level of experience is welcome
• Feel free to work solo or team up with others
• No jam theme, as the main goal of this jam is to promote awareness
• Do only submit content of your own, or content you have the permission to do so
• No majorly AI generated content
• Abide by itch.io platform rules
• No harassment, stigmatizing or demonizing content against pwNPD
• Have fun and help including NPD into the global mental health awareness movement 🌈

• Gameplay: How does the game play in your opinion?
• UX: How do you feel about the game's experience?
• Graphics: What's your opinion on the graphics?
• Sound: What's your opinion on the sound effects or music?

The jam starts on this years World Mental Health Day! Feel free to spread scientific valid resources on NPD to those who need it. Support a pwNPD if they want it. Read some resources. And take care about yourself of course as well.  

This game jam is maintained by Daniel Brendel. I'm a senior indie software developer and project founder, and advocate for mental health awareness, especially when it comes to NPD. Please consider visiting my personal portfolio homepage. You can also find me on Bluesky.
