The purpose of the Open Culture Game Jam is to create games using public domain content from Spanish authors. All the games must follow the theme, but the participants are free to select the work (whether literary, pictorial or of another origin). As an additional theme, in this edition of the Jam we wanted to explore Spanish gastronomy in the Iberian Peninsula. The Jam featured two modalities, online and face-to-face. This second one was held in Barcelona at the headquarters of ENTI-UB, School of New Technologies.
The seven best valued games of the V edition of the Game Jam Cultura Abierta and that can be played at the exhibition are:
 | Cloaks Between Blood and Frost A survival horror based on the time of the Civil War in Spain in which you have to feed your baby while protecting it from the horrors of war.

Authors: Guillem Alemán, Àlex Alier, Oriol Colomer, Joel Moreno, Simón Langa, Adriana Langa. |
 | Cooking Papas The troops of Captain General Tomás de Zumalacárregui are hungry. It is 1835 and the first Carlist war is at its peak, Bilbao is under siege and there is a shortage of food both outside and inside. The captain general must find a solution and quickly. But it will not be him, but the ingenuity of a humble peasant who will find the answer. Because in the absence of bread they are good cakes. Or tortillas, in this case.

 | Seville Hot Line A game in the purest Hotline Miami style, in which we play Pepe, a cook who is fed up with working in a seedy restaurant. But all this changes when he buys his first cookbook, written by María Rosa Calvillo, and fed up with continuing with his hellish routine, he breaks out in a rage. He has a new objective, to give María the star dish: a good paella. So he arms himself with the best frying pan of his, willing to do whatever it takes to get the best ingredients.

About Game Jam Open Culture
The Open Culture Game Jam was born taking as a reference the “Public Domain Jam”, which tried to encourage creators to use public domain licenses instead of continuing to make zombie games. This event picks up the torch and takes it to our country to vindicate all the culture that has been created within our borders.
The first four editions were a success in terms of participation and attendance at the open days for exposing the best video games created at the event. All developed games can be found here: https://itch.io/c/459508/jam-cultura-abiertas-collection
