How to Survive a 48 hour horror game jam!

Game Design Goals

• Teach player one core mechanic.

• One character or monster.

• One room or location.

• Ramp up tension in stages.

• No player death.

• Player never detects a clear game-play pattern. Which helps them focus on being immersed. (Don't want the player to do the same action over and over and over)

Game Jam Process

• Friday Night Saturday Sunday Morning
  

• Brainstorm concept and draw cover art.

• Write quick story (A horrible secret you want to slowly reveal)

• Prototype mechanics for game designer to create the experience with basic tutorial text.
