✅ Rules
1. Theme Compliance:
- Theme Integration: The theme can be reflected in any part of your game — story, characters, setting, or even gameplay mechanics. The key is to make it clear how your game relates to the theme, so judges and players can experience that connection.
- Creative Freedom: You have full creative freedom in how you approach the theme. You can choose to explore it directly or take a more abstract approach. Whether it’s through narrative, mechanics, visuals, or atmosphere, as long as the thematic essence is present, your game will be considered valid. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box — originality and bold ideas are encouraged!
