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.

Theme: Journey To The Underworld

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

For this game jam, the optional challenges are the following three:

1 - Bring Them Back To Life: The protagonist is trying to bring a loved one back to life.

2 - The Gatekeeper: At some point, the protagonist finds their way blocked by a gatekeeper who demands something from them in order to let them pass.

3 - Pass Beyond the Threshold: There's a scene in the game where the protagonist passes from the mortal realm into the realm of the dead.
