edit: i finsihed it! there are no jumpscares :) its not very scary but very beautiful and disturbing, there are are sudden noises but not so bad : D (this is for my fellow horror fans that get scared easily)
as a lady gamer that is desensitized to horror, this one was not super scary, but that isn't the point, it's unsettling, and disturbing, with a great atmosphere you have to give this one a try! Check out muy full let's play!
This game reminds me of Clifford Simak's Desertion - a short story about humanity trying to conquer Jupiter. By altering men's into completely another lifeform - into Lopers. The idea was to shapeshift a human into a new body and keep the mind, and shapeshift back when necessary. But that did not work, at least for the first four men. The story protagonist is the 5th one, and before transformation, he is tasked with one mission - just to come back from Jovian landscapes to prove that it is possible - to go back.
This is some quality body horror, its not horror in the classical sense that you will get scared, but it is horror in the idea behind it, and the unnervingness it will bring, you won't be comfortable playing this game and that makes it amazing!
Very original. Good usage of audio and also has simple but nice visuals. Sadly, halfway during the Flowering process the game just stopped working, which is a shame as i genuinely kind of liked it! Is there any way to fix this? (Note that i was using the Fullscreen option.)
I've been getting requests to play this game and it's my first real introduction to 'body horror'. I am honestly super unsure of how to feel about it because it's not that I was scared but I was pretty damn uncomfortable throughout the entire thing. If you're more interested in watching than playing you can check my experience out here:
The way this game makes me queasy from beginning to end is absolutely genius. From the terrifying visuals to the descriptions, I love the way it hints at an incredibly weird, nightmarish society where this process is somewhat desirable. Beautiful work, I played this a while ago and still think of it.
I liked it a lot, I was really hoping that it would continue on into his final phase and i'd be left with scanning this unintelligible ascending being. Still, great atmosphere.
hey thanks for letting me know, if you're still interested I have put up a version that should work, its named discover-my-body-mac-x86.zip on the download page
Everything about this screams surreal, and I absolutely love it. The plot unfolds in a truly demented way, and the comedic aspect ties the whole experience together. A truly disturbing game. Fantastic work!
LOVED this game. The universe you're able to create in such a small amount of time is incredible. I played this for my Bloodcurdling Barrage in which I do 31 games total and post a new video every day of October. I can't wait for whatever your next project will be.
I love this game. The body horror is memorable and I've yet to play a game that has stuck with me like this one has. Something about how clinical and matter-of-fact as it was made it even more unsettling in such a unique way. Amazing stuff.
This game is shocking and disturbing in a amazing way. I love the idea and the play style of this game. It really helps make the game memorable I recommend everyone play this game.
a short and chilling experience. i was pleasantly shocked by the reference to deleuze/guittari's work and what it meant for this work. looking forward to whatever you make next!
Woah. Just woah. This game was so scary to me. The story, art style and direction were spot on. I cannot wait to see what else you come up with. Thanks for a wonderful game! Here's my play through!

Masterpiece of Body Horror
this made me feel so uncomfortable but kinda cool

Masterpiece, very disturbing, very well written, original gameplay.
it is a short but fun game.

a very fun game :)
Unplayable on Intel Mac, because published binary is for ARM64.
hey thanks for letting me know, if you're still interested I have put up a version that should work, its named discover-my-body-mac-x86.zip on the download page
Aha! You’ve discovered a way to build it for x86.
Thank you, the game is quite original in visuals and the plot, I’ve just completed it, and despite it being very short, I have enjoyed it a lot.
Great to hear, thanks again!

excellent body horror!
I think the creator may have taken DMT before. Just a guess. ;)

Don't play before, during, or after dinner.
