In keeping the spirit of classic internet horror alive, This jam is all about creating Audio Narrative works centered around the themes and stylings of old Internet Creepypastas/Horror stories. The best submissions will then be featured in a small Puzzle game, where you can find the winning entries to the jam as in game collectables. You can write about whatever! A story about a Haunted game cartridge you got a yard sale? Scary youtube video that deleted itself? Evil pico Crawled out of your monitor and killed your family? Do whatever you think would be fun or scary! (or both!) The tone is up to you. You are encouraged to write out a script and collaborate with voice actors and musicians to bring your spooky audio experience to life!
