And maybe we can create something special, together, to bring a bit of light with the bundle.From the darkness is a psychological horror game with a scary atmosphere, the game takes place in an old Soviet abandoned apartment. I can't imagine I'm the only one who has been feeling this need, so I hope revisiting old games and creating new ones will help your mental health, too. Between things that have occurred in my family's personal lives and events in the US and abroad, I have felt an almost desperate need for these types of games for the last few weeks now. Whether they bring comfort or laughs, I just enjoy games that make me smile or think or both. I love games that help with mental health. Thank you for your interest, and I look forward to seeing what you create!įull confession, I have a bit of a selfish reason for running this jam. Just be sure to keep your focus on the main theme. Loving Accountability by Carla Kopp, Weird Giraffe Games.So You're in a Tavern by Live Real Productions.However else a game can convey a light in the darkness.The only set theme is what's already been said: though I might have to skim through small novels. Tealights, flashlights, bonfires - they're all sources of light. I recommend paid because you're putting work and time into this, but that's up to you.

Old candles tested tried and true can light up the darkness as can shiny new LEDs.

This ensures that all games can be ranked. You can use Community Copies or as a (limited time) PWYW, whatever works best for you and your creation.
The light of the darkness game for free#
Be accessible for free during the ranking process.I'm sure you can find a different jam for that, but it's not this one. Not promote hatred, violence, etc towards any group of people.We're talking a cool breeze on a hot summer day, a warm light at the end of a long dark tunnel, a loving hug during hard times, laughing so hard your drink comes out your nose type of feel good. Be uplifting, comforting, positive, or lighthearted in some way.Use your best judgement, and please leave your video games at the door. I'm not going to break out the old debate on what makes a TTRPG a true Tabletop Roleplaying Game. The ranks will help me decide what ones make it in, though I'll have final say. Since Itch is weird with its payment system, it's possible that not all games will make it into the bundle. Money will be split equally between all creators involved. So let's see if we can gather some of our most uplifting games into one place!Īfter the jam is over, I would like to make a Light in the Darkness Bundle. Whether it's a solo game that empowers a player through visualization and journaling or a multiplayer game that gets players to laugh with silly interactions, games can help turn a person's day around. Games have the power to influence emotions. Imagine what will happen if we gather several lights together? We can do this now, through the power of positive, comforting, and lighthearted TTRPGs. All it takes is a single light to fight the darkness. Update: We now have a Discord Server!
