This game was made in about 9 days for the GDN Game Jam, with the theme of "Rebirth".

Eldritch Carnage is a top-down arcadey shooter, where you can reincarnate in your enemies bodies every time you die. 


You play as an eldritch abomination named Osiris, who has a supernatural ability to reincarnate into any living creature on death.


Player reincarnating into an enemy

Once you do die, you'll have to act fast and click on a new human to reincarnate as, else the game ends.

This was a very fun game! I loved the arcade-y feel of everything and super replayable. I didn't quite understand the controls (the click to shoot) from the get-go, but after a few tries, it clicked! Extremely impressive that this was made in 9 days by a one-man team! Enjoyed it very much! :D
