The ocean is ancient, oppressive, and full of things that were never meant to be seen. Underwater Horror Jam 3 invites you to descend once more past the light, past safety, and into whatever is waiting below.
-----------------------
This jam is about underwater horror in all its forms. Claustrophobic dives, impossible structures, silent watchers in the dark, or the slow realization that something is aware of you. Whether you’re trapped in a failing submersible or drifting alone in open water, the fear should come from the depths themselves.
At least 85% of the game must take place underwater. Submersibles, diving suits, cameras, free swimming, whatever you'd like... How the player explores is your choice. But the horror must remain submerged.

Any engine. Any style. Focus on atmosphere, immersion, and the dread of being somewhere humans don’t belong.
