It's been a while since the last one of these, huh? 4-5 years ago, I hosted two game (https://itch.io/jam/mock-cover-jam/entries)jams (https://itch.io/jam/mock-cover-jam-2/entries)with a simple premise - I provide some evocative covers to get some graphic design practice in, you make some games! This is a jam where you pick a cover someone's already designed and make a game based on it, simple as that. Or if you'd prefer, you provide a cover or a few for someone else to design a game around.There's no restrictions as to system or length, but there are a few guidelines to follow:

• Don't be a bigot
• No AI writing or art allowed
• Claim the cover you want to use in this thread (https://itch.io/jam/mock-cover-jam-3/topic/6182510/claim-a-cover) to make sure people don't do duplicate projects with the same cover. Be sure to check if its available!
• If submitting a cover, you can post it inthis thread (https://itch.io/jam/mock-cover-jam-3/topic/6182513/cover-submission), though if you're submitting more than 2-3, a project page submitted to the jam might be easier
• Try to stick to public domain/free to use assets for your cover designs
• Credit your cover designer/artist!

There's no particular theme for this jam, so go wild! I'm excited to see some cool games and some cool art! You can find the covers I made for use in this jam here (https://witchbreak.itch.io/mock-cover-jam-3-covers)!
