Game jam thought process

Okay, there’s some obvious crack jokes here, but I don’t want to make a gimmick.

I want a unique experience. A lot of people will also make some mechanics with teleports and switching between realms, etc. Gemini also gave most ideas in this direction.

I want to make something different. I also want it to be replayable, which means scaling difficulty easily, and some of it randomly generated.

I am thinking about pop culture, some references to hacking, breaking the reality…

Matrix - the scene with the cat passing twice, makes it obvious they are in a simulation.

That’s it.

I am making a game where players have to identify the obvious tell that they are in a simulation. That’s the crack in reality.
