I'm looking to check out some horror games made for this jam. I didn't think "connections" lent very well to horror, so I'm honestly really curious to see how people interpreted the prompt. My mind went to horror for my submission: https://camco-games.itch.io/phantom-is-the-operator, so check it out and I'll look at yours, because I really do want to see how other people used horror for this theme.

Not mine, but I think this one I fits the horror vibe you are looking for: /jam/gamedevtv-jam-2026/rate/4611710

Cool, thanks!

I'd be really happy if you'd test my horror game. This is my very first game jam and I still have a lot to learn, but I hope you enjoy playing it. ^^

It's nice to see that someone else is so into the horror genre too. I really enjoyed your game. The atmosphere was really great. :D

Hello!!

My game isn’t fully horror based on current story. Right now the horror is mostly in the setting and atmosphere. I wanted to add more story and horror elements later since this is mainly a vertical slice showing the core mechanic and vibe.

So the story is - "You play as a night shift operator connecting cables between callers through an old switchboard system. For the theme “connection,” I went with literally connecting calls while slowly building an uneasy feeling through the conversations and atmosphere."

Planning to expand it more in the future with a bigger story and progression.

DUDE THAT WAS MY IDEA TOO!! I switched it up a bit when I realized I didn't have that much time to work on the jam, but that's crazy we thought of the same thing and now I have to check it out

Hi, I've done light horror game. I tend to go more for eiree vibes and psychological horror stuff than jumpscares. My game is about monitoring the connection with the satelites around the planet, and something keeps disconnecting them so you have to work out how to fix them and potentially defend your home from the dangers from the skies. Please give it a try and I hope you'll like it.
