ECTOCOMP 2015

ECTOCOMP 2015 is a comp for Hallowe'en, organized by J. J. Guest. It is the ninth Ectocomp competition, and features two categories, which will be judged separately:

• "ECTOCOMP: La Petite Mort" is for games written in three hours or less.
• "ECTOCOMP: Le Grand Guignol" is for those who don't manage to complete their games in under three hours, or who would like to take a more relaxed approach to the competition.
