Welcome to the Wake Up: Paradox Jam.

This jam is all about waking up somewhere unfamiliar, broken memories, paradoxes, and unsettling truths. Make a game that feels like something is wrong even if you can’t say what. Locked rooms, mysterious characters, surreal worlds – go wild.


Any style is allowed:

  • Horror, surreal, mystery, psychological, weird comedy, whatever
  • Any engine, any platform
  • Solo devs or teams


 Prize

The winner gets:

🔹 Chance to become part of the R16 Studio team

Outstanding participants may be invited to collaborate with R16 Studio on future projects. This is not automatic employment, but an opportunity to join the team if there’s a good creative and technical match.

🔹 Free Mastermind membership on Patreon

Winners will receive free access to our Mastermind Patreon tier, including exclusive content, behind-the-scenes development insights, and early access to future projects.

🔹 Shoutout and spotlight on our pages

Winning entries will be featured and promoted across our official platforms (itch.io, social media, Discord), with direct links to the creators and their games.

🔹 Eternal bragging rights

You’ll forever be able to say you won Wake Up: Paradox Jam. No expiration date. Valid in all timelines.

🔹 Free Wake Up copy (via Steam)

Winners will receive a free Steam key for Wake Up upon release.

🔹 Free DLC (on release)

All future DLC related to Wake Up will be provided for free once released.
