Have you ever thought, "What if Dragon Quest were stranger than it normally is?" Maybe you've thought, "I really enjoy how PS1 RPGs had ideas too crazy to fit on a disc; what if I replicated that vibe with RPG Maker while I was either learning it or a master"? It could be you're even the sort of person who plays those games about menhera and stuff where you aren't EVEN questing for dragons and thought: what if this game featured basic combat, basic NPC encounters, what if I was lowkey weird with my stuff even in the highkey weird terrain that everybody knows and loves these days?

Well...then this might be the jam for you!

It doesn't have to necessarily be RPG Maker. It just needs to be:

1. RPG-shaped (that is to say, I'd like to see at least one combat encounter; don't shy away from it): basically, just situate it within the broad genre of RPG or, shoot, even just get something to sing a RPG-like tune.

2. Some respect for something like a "classic": Dragon Quest, old 90's shoujo, Ys... I mean, at this point, there are recent experiences that are "classics." For this jam I think I want to see entries unashamedly riffing off of something they liked.

3. Lowkey weird: menhera, horror, there are a lot of overlapping terms or things that get you to weird. Basically, the entry inhabits some space that isn't entirely 'right' that plays with the riffing, plays with the RPG staples.
