Shoujosei Jam page is up!

We have the Shoujosei Jam page up!! You can join the jam now to get a reminder when it starts, build teams and make plans, but be sure to read the rules because, unlike Otome/Josei Jam, Shoujosei Jam will only allow NEW projects to be featured in the submissions.

You're allowed to prepare ahead of time, but if you joined NaNoRenO or Spooktober before, none of the things you prepare may be used to create a final product before the jam begins.

Rules and FAQ might be expanded obvious and due to the current uh, political and fincancial climate, I personally would have a SFW backup idea if you planned to go in with NSFW work for the jam ;; For any questions, please ask on our server!

Josei Jam's Girls Love Submissions!

Song of the Abyss by Stardust_and_Snowflakes

A yuri romance between a melancholic jellyfish mermaid and an aquarium intern which turns into a journey of self-discovery.

When it Rains Red by LiminAce

For your entire life, the villagers have thought you to be a witch. It isn't your fault that you happen to be smart! Ah well, that doesn't matter: What they think is their reality. Either way, they're tired of you. So tired, in fact, that they wanna watch you burn in Hell. How lovely! Being a living, breathing human, you decide to run away. To where? Who knows. All you know is you feel bad that your girlfriend's coming along for the ride. Even if she seems unusually happy about it.

Femmes Majectia ~ A Love Letter to No One by Ms. Witchdog

Cute talking objects with magical girl powers compete for a grand prize. Strange things begin to happen when few of them end up getting into sexually suggestive situations.

A big thank you again to those who left feedback and replies on our post-jam survey! We managed to conclude the answers into three possible themes for Otome / Josei Jam 2026 graphics

Male Protag Joseimuke!

Taishō Romance Theater by SweetSome Studio

This is a dark, story-rich romance visual novel set in 1920s Taishō-era Japan, featuring a diverse cast of romance options. In a tale where love, fate, and the arcane intertwine, players follow Kotori Sakuma—an amnesiac actor, as his peaceful life unravels after a strange incident awakens unexplained powers within him. Amid the glittering stages of Tokyo and the shadows of unseen forces, a friend’s mysterious death draws him into long-buried secrets of magic, memory, and blood ties. As Kotori uncovers hidden truths and dangerous conspiracies, players must choose: return to the embrace of the bloodline, or pursue complete freedom.

Features BxB/G!

Features BxB!

And that wraps up the list of features we had prepared! Of course, we still have many more Otome & Josei Jam submissions that we haven't talked about, at least 40+ for Otome Jam and many only exclusive to Josei Jam!

If you're curious what other games there are, check them out here for Otome Jam 2025 and Josei Jam 2025, or even check out the works from previous years!

Heya Jammers! We hope you had plenty of rest after #OtomeJam & #JoseiJam! With so many entries, we will do our best to retweet and reblog around on Twitter and Tumblr, but obviously keeping an overview of all new devs and projects is a lot for a duo. Feel free to comment, reblog and use the hashtags of this post and we'll like, reblog and follow you!

We also have a similar post on Twitter for those who would like more eyes on their project there: https://x.com/otomedev/status/1809622598147350793
