Submissions are strongly encouraged to be mostly visual novel based, meaning the main interaction with the game is reading and observing on screen action. However hybrids are permitted and have found themselves among winners in the past.

In 2020, Therapy with Dr. Albert Kruger won 1st place, and has a number of mini-games relevant to the narrative of a patient dealing with a scary therapist.

In 2021, Stardander: Revenant won 2nd place, and had small combat and stat-raising segments built around a school narrative.

The submissions do not need to be complete to be a part of the jam, but complete entries are viewed more favorably in judgement on average.  

Okay. thank you!

so games style corpse party can enter the game jam?, I was thinking of putting exploration inside the school and small puzzles similar to those of corpse party

Corpse Party is an acceptable example of a hybrid we'd allow into the jam, yes. Some of the submissions in the past have had a component of exploration fulfilled by RPG Maker or similar tools.

We had another doubt in the team, does mad father fall into that same category? and if he doesn't, where exactly is the line that divides mad father and corpse party?
