The Trench Jam 🌊

Welcome to The Trench Station Jam!

To celebrate the official release of my latest project, The Trench Station, I am challenging you to build your own high-pressure, atmospheric, or horror-themed experience. Whether you’re an experienced dev or just starting out, this is your chance to show the community how you handle "the deep."

The Challenge

Your task is to create a game that captures the spirit of The Trench Station. I’m looking for entries that focus on:

  • Atmosphere: Build tension through environment, sound, and lighting.
  • Mechanics: Give us something unique—traversal, interaction, or survival systems that make the player feel the pressure.
  • Narrative: Tell a compelling, story within your world.

How to Join

  1. Click the "Join Jam" button at the top of this page.
  2. Build your game during the jam period 
  3. Submit your project by creating a new game page on itch.io and linking it to this jam.

Rules

  • Engine: All engines are welcome
  • Content: All games must be original and created for this jam.
  • Respect: Keep it professional and have fun!

Why Participate?

  • Showcase your skills: Get your project in front of other devs and players.
  • Learn: Practice working under a deadline and see how others tackle similar design challenges.
