13 barn owls in a trenchcoatLook at this extremely cool game jam that's ongoing with plenty of time still left:Narrative Alchemy Jam 2025 <a href="https://itch.io/jam/narrative-alchemy-jam-2025" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://itch.io/jam/narrative-alchemy-jam-2025</a>*This is a jam for transformative narrative games of all kinds. It will be judged by me (Chance). Since I prefer to cultivate a collaborative rather than a competitive environment, and since judging is often highly subjective, I have chosen to use the word "Favorite" rather than "Best" for the award categories:Favorite Educational Game - Open to educators and non-educators, as long as your game teaches something intended to be useful for players' personal growth or learning.Favorite Therapeutic Game - Please enter only if you're a therapist, social worker, psychologist, counselor, life coach, neurodiversity researcher, etc. Games about therapy or therapeutic topics are allowed in other categories; this category is specifically for games intended for use as part of a therapy session.Favorite Spiritual or Religious Game - You don't need to be clergy to submit to this category. Religious fundamentalists, including militant atheists, are not welcome.Favorite Recreational Game - This is for games primarily intended to be fun to play, while also exploring a thought-provoking or emotionally resonant theme / genre.Favorite Serious Game - This is for games intended to be thought-provoking, emotionally intense, or culturally important, but not necessarily fun or light-hearted.Entering multiple categories is allowed, as long as it makes sense for your game. The only two categories that are mutually exclusive are "Favorite Recreational Game" and "Favorite Serious Game".Since I'm a TTRPG and LARP designer with academic training in transformative role-playing game design, this jam is primarily geared toward analog, physical games. But if you're a CRPG or visual novel designer with an idea that fits, go for it! Some of my favorite transformative narrative games are computer games (e.g. The Longest Journey, The Talos Principle, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, Disco Elysium).*<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/GameJam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GameJam</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/narrativeGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#narrativeGames</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TTRPG</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/CRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CRPG</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/VisualNovel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VisualNovel</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/transformativeGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transformativeGames</a>
