I ran a brief game jam at the end of 2019 going into 2020 with the following theme:
I woke up this morning and I swore I had seen a text adventure game jam that had the theme “rococo” and “pink” but clearly I had dreamed it, so sometimes you got to make your own dreams happen, so behold: we have the #RosecocoJam
Some really great games came out of it, so I’d like to take a moment to feature all of the entries 🌸
1. the moon, the crow
blake stone / fenced forest submitted this physical game as a part of the #RosecocoJam and the #MoonJam (another very cool jam I wish I entered. The game, involving the moon and crows is very dreamy and beautiful. Even if you have not played a lot of physical games, I recommend you download it with a journal in hand and take down everything you discover.

The creator also has a patreon, that you can take a look at here. They also have other games on their itchio page, many of which are paid with ample community copies. Be sure to check it out 🌸
2. The Art Gallery
Rain submitted this bitsy, which is described as:
you are visiting the art gallery with your wife.
I love art museums and this is a beautiful and sweet bitsy about walking through and seeing all of them. I loved talking to the npc’s and the ending is rather sweet.

3. The Blush of Dawn on Roses
Jennifer Kathleen submitted this physical game and it is described as:
The Blush of Dawn on Roses is a two-player game about writing letters – love letters, to be specific. Illicit love letters, to be even more specific.
In this game, you will actually write love letters to each other, and in the process, you will be defining each other’s characters and the nature of your relationship.
This game is set during the height of the French Rococo period, when the world was awash with frivolous beauty – embrace that in your writing. “Flowery” prose is not to be frowned on here.
It is $2 and is also part of the Jen-uary bundle, though there are community copies as well.
I love the style of this game and all the characterizations that can be made. It definitely has a fun flair and I would definitely like to see Sofia Coppola direct a movie on this.

4. Rose-Tinted Glasses
PureGem submitted this WIP game that looks lovely. It’s described as:
Follow Elise, a member of the royalty of France in her adventure to an impoverished village, as she sees the world through her rose-tinted glasses (WIP Game)
It’s still a work in progress but it has a great style and I love the color scheme of the game.

Those were all the entries of the jam and I really enjoyed it. Thanks for entering!
