the implications of the procedure are incredibly disturbing. you get just enough information to know something is very very wrong. i love horror games that keep me unsettled and thinking about them for days afterwards and this is exactly that type of game. looking forward to the sequel!
Honestly an amazing game with great horror aspects, jumpscares were not necessary to make it scary, can't wait for discover our bodies Yames keep it up!
Hey, just wanted to say that my partner and I love and appreciate your content, we usually watch your playthroughs to wind down at night (I think your yt channel helps us sleep due to the combination of the artistic visuals of the indie games you typically choose to showcase, plus your calming-voiced commentary)
Beautiful little piece that makes the most of its time and space. Tension and atmosphere is phenomenal, but the sound design really pulls this one all together.
This game has BY FAR been the BEST part of this video lol.... I genuinely felt discomforted when playing and the visuals... the sounds... and the music behind it DID NOT HELP! XD
I REALLY look forward to what you create in the future! :D
(Thumbnail is to represent the vibe of this game lol)
Anyway. Outstanding game, I saw AlphaBetaGamer fire it up and new I had to stop and play it myself instead. Man, I could hardly sleep afterwards! Looking forward to any potential new installments. Seriously creative work you've made here!
This is a very unique game. It is pretty short, but i had a lot of fun playing. The horror aspect of the game was terrifying. its a quick game for burning time. overall, pretty good.
Hi, I'm having trouble with the game. When I open the game the window for it is incredibly small, and I'm unable to read the text. Do you know how to fix this? I am using the windows version of the game.
It is a rather small window yes. Also when I made the game I didn't want to make a fullscreen version because I thought it would betray the source material (windowed edutainment games). I don't think it should be illegible though, if it is, or if you're still having this problem, I can try and put up a scaled-up version.
This game was super amazing, I love pixelated games that's why I choosed this one, but I am loving how the man's face very scary look like, this game is great dude!!
This was certainly an interesting piece. Despite its seemingly low quality graphics, it really adds to the game's disturbing atmosphere along with the background noise. The gameplay is simple, but unique. I really would like to see more of this! It's really good!!
Very interesting game! Felt like a mix between a commentary on organizations/group ideology, and at the same time a simple short scifi-horror story. Hope you enjoy my gameplay vid of it.
The lack of detail in the game really sends my brain into a small panic trying to figure out what the hell I'm looking at. Excellent use of the uncanny valley!
So fucking good... I'm a sucker for non-traditional gameplay, and this hits a real sweetspot. It's differently structured to anything else I've ever played (almost seems like medical software (which I think is the point)), but still easy to comprehend. The writing's fantastic, the artwork's fantastic, the sound is atmospheric and great. Fuck yeah. Great work!
Loved this. Really spooky, and well set up atmosphere. The ending also completely caught me of guard. I don't think I'll ever comprehend what this game is, but I can't wait to see what you've got next! Keep up the good work!
Really loved this, it's one of the better horror games I've played in years. Just a quick question though, is the person you're studying a man? I've noticed that he seems to have breasts and thought it added a pretty interesting layer to it (if they're trans/nb/intersex wanting to escape their physical body)
Hi, thanks! Good question. They are a male-presenting person who has breasts, so it definitely could be read that way! That is part of the reason why I had the person covering up, so as to not make anything definitive. Thanks for playing!
As a token of my appreciation for the game's unique nightmare-inducing content and idea, I made this logo for "Discover Our Bodies" you're planning to make. I don't mind if you can use it (and maybe edit it to your liking if you like). If you already made a logo for yourself, that's okay!
You're welcome! The acronym part of the logo is a symbolic representation of the patients/test-subjects' medical stages of gruesome transformations. Cleverly fitting for the game's topic!

Plays. Iwan, plays - accidental professional bedtime story reader.
Hey, thanks for sharing! ^^
Exactly lol. Maybe you should add asmr tags to some of your more soft spoken videos, I bet it would attract some insomniac viewers like me. :P
5/5
DISCOVER MY BODY is an original and disturbing horror game that arguably counts as social commentary.
fun, uncomfortable and unique game, loved it!
FULLSCREEN
A great and very disturbing little game.
What engine did you use to make this?
Cool horror game. Unsettling.
Beautiful little piece that makes the most of its time and space. Tension and atmosphere is phenomenal, but the sound design really pulls this one all together.

very kafka-like. loved it to bits

That's awesome and disgusting! Thank you!!!

I also already created a wiki for infos throughout DMB and DOB. You can find it from this link: https://discover-my-body.fandom.com/wiki/Discover_My_Body_Wiki (Note that the wiki is still under construction)
Wow! The wiki is also very awesome thank you so much for making that!!
