The 2026 (No) Dialogue Jam was a month-long jam organised by the Neo-Interactives group, all about communication between characters.
As well as all-dialogue entries as in previous years, this year there was also the option of no-dialogue entries (only descriptions).
Rules
- Your entry must take one of two forms:
- DIALOGUE: Your Entry must be centred around an exchange between characters. No description allowed!
- This could take the form of a dialogue (even monologue!), script, or letters.
- Elements like stage direction or dialogue tags can be used, though they should be kept to a minimum.
- NO DIALOGUE: Your Entry cannot have a single piece of dialogue. Only descriptions!
- No form of communication between characters, be it verbal (dialogue) or written (letters).
- DIALOGUE: Your Entry must be centred around an exchange between characters. No description allowed!
- The Jam is open to any program/medium, as long as the piece can be considered Interactive Fiction (i.e. the game is interactive, and its focus is on the text).
- The Jam is open to any language.
- You can submit up to 3 entries!
- You should aim for 15-30 minutes maximum gameplay.
- Entries should list and credits the use of external assets.
- Games should not include any generated AI content (incl. Cover Image/Game Page). Entries using AI/LLM will be removed.
- Entries can have NSFW content, as long as you indicate it in your submission (in the Content Warning section of the form).
- Spam or hateful content will be removed.
- During the duration of the jam and the two weeks following the deadline, the submissions should be free to play.
