"Enter together. Return changed... if you return at all."

NecronomiJam is a dark, fast-paced 1–4 Player Co-op Occult Extraction FPS.

Ritual Table to survive the descent.

                           ABOUT THE GAME

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The circle is drawn. The book remembers. 

Step into the shoes of an Occult Operative dispatched into dark, 

shifting labyrinths beneath reality. Every run presents a new procedurally 

generated dungeon filled with relentless eldritch horrors, mysterious 

keepsakes, and deadly traps. 

Gather your squad around the 3D Ritual Table, synchronize your ready status, 

and descend into the abyss together. Will your squad extract with forbidden 

knowledge, or fall to the endless nightmare?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

* 1–4 Player Co-op Extraction: Play solo or assemble a squad of up to 4 

  operatives. Host a lobby instantly using a simple 6-character room code.

  crushing Melee Strikes. Manage health, stamina, and combat keepsakes under

  Lobby. Light up your seat around the altar, declare your readiness, and 

  initiate the descent together.

* Spectator Mode: Downed operatives watch surviving teammates in realtime 

  from a dedicated 3D spectator camera until the squad either extracts or 

  succumbs to a Total Party Kill.
