I suspect that most people will be prioritising games that stand out as adventure games (a per rule 1 on the jam page, "we only ask that you create an adventure game, e.g. point-and-clicks, text parsers, walking simulators, etc. If you’re still unsure about what is considered to be an adventure game, we recommend checking out the definition on Wikipedia for a good idea").
If your game builds on the adventure game genre, it might help catch more attention if you present those aspects in the game's description/cover image so that other participants don't assume it's a straight platformer.
Hope that helps!
