🎭 Theme: KEEP AN EYE

Interpret it however you like: a guardian’s duty, a cursed relic, constant surveillance, or even a literal jar with an eyeball. Horror, comedy, fantasy, sci-fi — all styles and tones are welcome.


🕒 Duration

You have 7 days to write, design, or prototype your narrative idea.


✅ What Can You Submit?

This is a Narrative-First Jam, so the storytelling is the focus, not the polish.

You can submit:
  • Twine / Ink / Ren’Py / Godot narrative prototype  
  • Short branching dialogue script (PDF or DOC)  
  • TTRPG one-shot / scenario outline  
  • Interactive fiction or micro-game  
  • Audio drama script or comic script  
  • Game Design Document or narrative pitch

If it delivers a story — it qualifies.
