A Single Player Co-Op Game – Sacrifices must be made to free the Dark Lord! Take control over a demon and his servant and help them to fulfill their quest of mass destruction. Feed the demon by sacrificing animals with the priest. Powered with blood he will guard off the revengeful spirits that attack the priest from the shadow realm. Can you take control of two evil beings in two different realms, at the same time? And even more important – Can you collect enough blood to open the gates of H E L L?

Controls – Press WASD to move the priest. Press SPACE to pick up friendy animals, or kill enemy priests. Use your Cursor to move the Demon. Press the left mouse Button to attack. When you find a rare animal you gain a special attack that you can use with the right mouse button. ESC opens the menu to change graphics/sound settings.

Jam Log – Although we are happy how the game turned out there are still some parts missing! In the end, we had to simplify the goal of the game. There should have been 5 artifacts to collect to win the game, but unfortunately, we have to stick with an enemy count mechanic to end the game for know. So all you need to collect so far is the blood for the ring in the center of the map. Also, we would have liked to have a couple more hours to tweak the spawns and mechanics of the enemies, to make a more satisfying difficulty curve in the game. And then there are some UI ideas (options etc) we couldn't finish on time.

All in all a great entry! Thanks for creating it!
You seem to have a penchant for weird, dark stuff.
Awesome game! I really liked the visuals - and especially the options menu which was exceptionally awesome!
The game itself was really fun and kind of broke my brain with the dual display of the demon and the priest. I didn't manage to kill any of the enemy priests, but I decided to complete the pentagram and finish the game without killing them (are you supposed to attack the yellow circles with the demon? I tried doing it a few times but couldn't get it to work).
Anyway, really awesome game mechanic, and cool game!
