The first Voxel Horror Jam!

Create a horror game in a 3D pixel art style (also called voxel).

You might know the game Embuscade, it was my entry for the pixel horror jam 2017. This game jam has now gone into oblivion, and it was my favorite one. So that's why I'm launching the Voxel Horror Jam, as a tribute to this awesome past event!
