our game has one or 2 sections where some death related imagery appears (drawn), some of which has blood and a few with organs. one world is made of meat. is that allowed (with a warning at the beginning of the game) or shld we not submit to the jam?

Visceral environments (e.g. those with themes similar to Guts World from Yume Nikki or Visceral World from .flow) are fair game, if that's what you mean.

okay thats good to know. there are 2 events in our game that involve somewhat crudely drawn gore of the protagonist so i was sorta concerned that it might infringe on the 'no explicit content' guideline. i can send footage of one of the events if thatd help give a general idea of what thatd consist of but generally the game is largely chill. these 2 events are just sorta important to the narrative :) thanks for the response !!

As long as it isn't sexually explicit or too graphic, it should be good. Think "what could I show that won't have ESRB rate it AO+?", or something like that. Since it's crudely-drawn for artistic purposes, this is okay.
