Welcome to the Underwater Horror Game Jam!

There will be a theme! It will be voted on in the discord, and announced 24 hours before the jam starts.

In this game jam, participants will dive into the dark and mysterious world of underwater horror.

 From the eerie depths of the ocean to the claustrophobic confines of a submarine, participants will explore the terrifying unknown and face off against the horrors that lurk beneath the waves. Whether it's a survival horror game set on a sunken ship, a psychological thriller set in a deep-sea research facility, or a Lovecraftian adventure set in the depths of the ocean, participants will have the opportunity to unleash their creativity and create a truly spine-chilling experience. 

So grab your diving gear and prepare to plunge into the abyss!
