Mental illness, a very real problem, is often used as a way to scare us. Asylum Jam, taking place October 11 through October 13, hopes to encourage designers to think more broadly about horrors potential. “This jam is to show that you can still create a great horror experience without using inaccurate stereotypes of those who suffer from mental illness, or the institutions that support them in diagnosis and recovery,” reads the jam’s website. Asylum Jam came into being thanks to Lucy Morris. She read an article on Kotaku by Ian Mahar titled “Nobody Wins When Horror Games Stigmatize Mental Illness” from earlier this year. “Popular media drive popular beliefs, which lead to reinforcement, adaptation, or abandonment of stigmatic views,” said Mahar. You dont have to spend much time to come up with horror game or movie thats riffed on mental illness.
