👁️ Welcome to The Cursed 3D YouTube Challenge Jam
Can you create the weirdest, funniest, creepiest, most broken 3D game imaginable?
This is not your average serious game jam.
This is a YouTube Challenge Jam — meaning every valid entry will be played, recorded, and featured in the official YouTube showcase video, and the viewers will decide which cursed creation deserves to win.
Broken physics? Ugly monsters? Nightmare fuel NPCs? Absurd screams? Internet nonsense?
Perfect.
Polish is optional. Chaos is encouraged.
🎥 EVERY VALID ENTRY GETS FEATURED ON YOUTUBE
After submissions close, every valid game will be personally played and showcased in the official reaction/judging video on YouTube.
Then the audience will vote for their favorite nightmare during Viewer Voting Week.
Yes — the internet will judge your monstrosity.
