... but it was added to another Jam.

[({R.G.)}]

Because this is an update to a pre-existing game, it is not qualified for voting. I look forward to experiencing it, regardless.

"There is something in this defiance that is so powerful, that is so transcendent, that it commands respect from all peoples..."

Carl Jung, on Difficulty:

[({R.G.)}]

Give it a try!! It's on the PS4 and PS Plus, as well as PS5, I think.

*By the way, I don't agree with How Good Games. I think the game is perfect.

The hardest game I ever beat was Jak II, though I've played the game enough at this point that I could perhaps complete it in a single day of hardcore gaming. I expected it to take me four at most when I first rented it. (Blockbuster, yes.) I ended up returning it when I'd completed only the first Act or so. It was a grind, but now that grind is married to my nervous system, inextricably.

[({R.G.)}]

Thanks for showing us your scars.

[({R.G.)}]

What are the hardest games you have completed? Post them here.

[({R.G.)}]

The Theme for the Inaugural Hard Jam is:

EVADE.

[({R.G.)}]

I commend your valour. 

[({R.G.)}]

The .exe will not work. :-[

Thanks; I shall convey your feedback to the Dream Cartographer.

[({R.G.)}]

Am I right or what?

Feel free to stream the latest version!!

Did I WIN??

[({R.G.)}]

This means a lot, and it always did. Thanks for making 2021 a little better for me.

[({R.G.)}]

De MOM.

You did it!!

Et la vie continue?

I believe in all of you...

FROM THE PEOPLE:

https://itch.io/jam/dream-jam-mmxxi/results

Congratulations to all of you, no matter what the results may indicate. Know just how polarizing some of these works were, and recognize that this is a testament as much to the authenticity of your Vision as to the diversity of the Judges.

Rinzai Gigen,

Subliminal Mind Games.

[({R.G.||S.M.G.)}]

Please come back. We need you.

This game is scarier than my nightmares after I read my old writing.

Rinzai.

What the Fuck, Wood??

... and we're done!!

With that, Dream Jam MMXXI comes to an End.

Please enjoy the NINE ORIGINAL GAMES, and don't forget to rate them all!!

Rinzai Gigen,

Subliminal Mind Games.

[({R.G.||S.M.G.)}]

See you Next Year.

Rinzai.

[({R.G.)}]

"Don't stop... come a little closer..."

Rinzai.

[({R.G.)}]

3 hours to go!! Let's make this.

Rinzai.

[({R.G.)}]

It was an error, but it's complicated. I honestly did not intend to, but since another Game of mine was removed from a lesser jam entirely, my other active jam submissions were sadly compromised. I would certainly not mind resubmitting.

Rinzai.

Right on!! Don't forget to submit this by the end of the weekend.

[({R.G.)}]

Or a beautiful nightmare?

Rinzai.
