What is Sinister Jam?

Sinister Jam is a unique game jam series consisting of 7 events, each inspired by one of the Seven Deadly Sins from the Bible. In every event, participants are challenged to create games based on the sin chosen as the theme, turning these timeless human flaws into engaging and creative gameplay experiences.
