Just to reiterate, the Theme will be revealed near the start of the game jam together with the Bonus Challenges.

You need to incorporate the Theme into your game in some way and before you submit it, you will need to write atleast 1 short sentence about how your game fits the Theme of the game jam. It's completely up to you how you interpret the theme. Feel free to be creative with it.

*The game jam has started and the Theme and Bonus Challenges have been revealed!*

Theme: Eldritch Abomination

Bonus Challenges: Unlike the Theme, these are entirely optional. Feel free to do one, two, all of them or ignore them completely.

The optional challenges for this game jam are the following three:

1 - The Cult: The story of the game involves some kind of cult.

2 - Reveal The Mystery: The mechanics of the game are focused on investigation, such as being required to use hints found from clues and documents to proceed etc.

3 - You Cannot Comprehend: The game features an enemy that causes some kind of negative effect to the player character or drains some kind of resource from them (such as health or willpower) if they keep looking at it.

Does this fit
