Welcome to the Echoes of the Past Game Jam!

Overview

In this jam, your mission is to create a game that explores how past events, decisions, or ancient legacies ripple through time, shaping the present in surprising and profound ways. Whether it's a character haunted by memories, a world recovering from long-forgotten civilizations, or a mechanic that lets players revisit moments to change their outcome, the possibilities are endless. Let your creativity be guided by the echoes of history!
