This event is a week-long game development marathon where participants from around the world create games inspired by the mysterious and chilling universe of the SCP Foundation. Whether you’re an experienced game developer or a newcomer to the scene, this is your chance to contribute to the ever-expanding lore of SCP.
Theme:
The theme for this year’s game jam is “Reality Breach.” Your mission is to explore the fragility of our perception of reality, the boundaries between the known and unknown, and the anomalies that lurk just beyond the veil of our understanding. Whether it's a story of a dangerous SCP breaking containment, a researcher uncovering forbidden knowledge, or a new SCP being discovered, your game should delve into the unsettling and enigmatic nature of these anomalies.
