Question on horror content

Hi hi i normally have ideas and wanna make horror themed content usually based around mental illness and sensitive topics. I don't plan on showing anything graphic but the overall theme would be a bit uncomfortable. The last game i made didn't have any explicit content except the ending game card describing what the player found. So i'm just curious as to what would really fall into the nsfw for a horror game

I don't think so, as NSFW only concerns graphical content and not the theme itself. So you should be fine. But don't take my word on that, better wait for a professional to answer this.

Hey there! Thanks for asking first.

NSFW is content you wouldn’t want people at work to see, generally considered nudity, sexually explicit content, and the likes. Mental illnes is becoming more of an understood topic and something people are willing to talk about. That being said we will allow it for the jam if not used to make fun of or ridicule people and/or diseases /illnesses.

ok thank you so much for the reply.  Of course its not in a way to make fun of or ridicule, Just alot of stuff i want to make derives from personal experiences and such and i know the subject matter can be a trigger for some and didn't wanna just make something that wouldn't of been allowed. I usually put disclaimers as well but it's always safe to ask and clarify as well.
