This is a submission for the GDU Game jam with the theme "Anti-Cozy".  I am not really a player of Cozy games, but I tried to make this the opposite of what I see in Cozy games.  

Cozy games are relaxing.  They allow you to interact with creatures or people in pleasant ways and you can collect things for whatever reason and just exist comfortably.  That is not this game!

Do you want to interact with creatures?  No way!  The creatures in this world don't even know you are there.  You have giant horns so you can't even fit comfortably through doors.  The world is grim and swampy.  The houses are stone and empty.  It is just a crappy place to be.  You can't even make a friend!!!  And to top it off, you run around and take baby souls for no good reason at all?  Do the souls go to a better place--who cares?

And don't even think that all the menu items do what you want them to.  Some aren't even finished?  Which ones you ask? I'm not telling.  See if that makes it feel cozy...

I wish I had more time to do more.  It was a fun concept and my lack of time to do features made the game just that more annoying and anti-cozy.  Best wishes to all the people who submit for the jam.  I know how hard it is just to finish and I look forward to seeing the other games.
