Simply amazing, I was left on edge along the whole experience, but not overwhelmingly frightened, A good spook to be sure! I like the retro style and the way that the patient spoke, made them seem so much more inhuman and I loved it. 10/10
Long Live the New Flesh, Batman! It was like an Artaudian hypertext retelling of Merlin Sheldrake's 'Entangled Life'. I like to imagine that the man on the table was the late Terence McKenna.
Incidentally, if you havent listened to the radio soundscapes of Gregory Whitehead, I'm pretty sure you'd be keen: https://gregorywhitehead.net/
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!

a masterpiece
One of my new favorites, extremely creative use of minimal UI...look forward to checking out your patreon
This was a very unique and creepy game. Great job!
Great game, unique mechanics and interesting story
Pretty cool. The concept of leaving our human form and metamorphosing into something different is pretty scary. Looking forward to your game.

Cant tell if i hate or absolutely adore this game. Joking aside, great work on the art, the atmosphere was immaculate. Defenetly worth a play.
This made me sick and left a questionable stain on my soul. Have been on edge the whole playthrough. Good work! Will recommend.
this is the type of game i can play hundreds of times and still love
does anyone know if it has jump scares :,D

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.
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.
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!
