Cosmic Horrors Jam IV is a two-week jam where you make a cosmic horror themed video game or physical game. If you don't know what Cosmic Horror (sometimes known as Lovecraftian Horror) is exactly, put simply it is a horror sub-genre that as  Wikipedia  puts it: that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock. A sub-genre that emphasizes themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries. 

Your game can be any genre, made in any engine, for any platform (though making it playable on PC is preferable so that it can be shown on the live stream) the only fundamental rule is that it should be a part of the cosmic horror genre. Make a classical Lovecraftian mystery, an Elder Thing virtual pet, an insanity simulator. The possibilities are endless! Just remember that your Cosmic Horror creations can be solely original you don't need to use the creations of the Cthulhu mythos or other Cosmic Horror writers (Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E. Howard, etc.).

You can join the jam here, hope to see you there!: https://itch.io/jam/cosmichorrorsjam4

I have no idea why but each time I launched the game it would crash after clicking start. I'll have to try again.

Nice work, maybe I didn't get far enough but it felt like it was slightly lacking in the mech department. Unless the turrets are the mechs.

Very cool, love the ASCII art for the imagery.

Fantastic game, I really enjoyed it. So much variety in the builds. All the systems felt complete and solid, it didn't feel too jammy like a lot of games like this built for jams often can.

Very nice!

The UI and character art is astounding. I know you have been working on this for a long time, I'm excited for what's next.

Nice work!

Really impressive for a game made in 2 weeks. Well done to you all!

Some of the best UI design I have ever seen in a jam game!

Absolutely incredible art and great writing too.

Some very interesting mechanics and ideas here!

Very fun!

Haven't had as much time as I'd like with it yet but it's very cool. Nice looking and the soundtrack is beautiful too.

Nice idea!

Thank you I will give that a shot :)

Sadly none of the inputs seem to work.

The control scheme is certainly interesting. The game is fun to play though, shame there's no sound effects, I feel they would really add to the experience.

Good start on this, hope you do more with it.

Unique concept!

Wow this is stunning! I'm not even exaggerating when I say this is one of the best feeling mech games I have ever played. I am seriously impressed with what you all managed in 2 weeks.

Fantastic work on this!

I have no idea why but the game is refusing to load for me? Would be neat to have a Windows build to try or something.

A good straightforward story, I knew that ending was coming haha! Great work!

Had a ton of fun playing this game.

Looks and sounds great, I really struggled to make it very far though. Maybe I'm just really bad or the player does need a tiny bit more health.

Solid foundation for a game, good work.

Great little puzzle game, I would definitely play more of it if you ever expanded on it.

Lovely visuals and a really nice way of telling the story. Uses the Footsteps optional secondary theme effectively. 

Fun game with really solid visual design.

Nice story!

Really solid start, I know you are busy with other projects but I would love to see more of this. I love the mole.

This game is awesome, I could easily play this for hours.

Nice concept, like others I feel like the game would have benefitted from the manual being in the game rather than a seperate text file.

Cool game. Certain things that stuck out to me were the lack of a muzzle flash or something when firing. The way the gun would sound like it was still firing after you ran out of ammo was a tiny bit distracting too.

Nice visuals and concept. Sound effects would have been a big plus!

Really cool game with a clever control scheme. Some sound effects might add to it, to compliment the great music.

Awesome as ever, love the green sickly look (that sounds bad but I mean it in a positive way). Loved it!

Cool visual style!
