The Eye Jam III is a 10-day folk horror game jam about the unknown and strange. That could mean rituals, folklore or old gods.
Folk horror is a subgenre of horror film and horror fiction that uses elements of folklore to invoke fear and foreboding. Typical elements include a rural setting, isolation, and themes of superstition, folk religion, paganism, sacrifice and the dark aspects of nature.
Think Darkwood,
The Witch,
Midsommar,
The Ritual.
