Discover My Body
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
In the year 2040, human beings look for increasingly strange solutions in hopes of finding connection and community.
This is a very short game.
CW: Body horror, loud screams.
UPDATE: added a fullscreen mode that can be toggled via the main menu. You can also hit F4 at anytime to enter/exit fullscreen.

cool
Ubuntu version (why Ubuntu specifically?) doesn't provide necessary dependencies (there are more than what's listed in install instructions). Why not use an appimage?
WOW!!!!!

i….don’t know what i’ve just experienced
really good
Everyone’s into “mushrooms” recently I blame the vegans.
used to watch the gameplays of this game and now i try it out myself and i really like it! exactly the kind of body horror game i need :3
I am so happy. The feeling of time for me is now a nightmare, if ever I get back I would go crazy
wow
I love the use of a teeny tiny window for the game, it's really creative
Really gross but I loved it! Awesome job!
Really good and strange game!
Adorei a vibe Aniquilação do Jeff Vandermeer, mesmo sendo um jogo curto eu me pego pensando na aceitação da mudança e da morte do personagem.
Achei bastante interessante a idéia do seu jogo e gostei.
I loved this game! It's pretty haunting, the lengths that one would go to for science.
really want to play this game but I'm having some trouble running it on linux. when I try to run it in the terminal I get an error message that it can't find libcrypto.so.1.0.0. i tried to troubleshoot this for a while but i gotta give up - the file it needs appears to be a very deprecated file that doesn't seem to be readily available anywhere anymore. might give the windows version a shot via wine though.
edit: got it working through wine. loved it!
Very disturbing, very interesting concept. Always love to see fungal hiveminds! Great game and very eerie
Pretty good game, I got scared. HOWEVER, it has a bug, or maybe I'm dumb but if you open fullscreen twice, for whatever reason, it freezes the screen on pitch black. I couldn't do anything besides had to reboot my pc...
Fullscreen version btw
very good
Felt it in my bones. Very good, very lovely, exactly the type of body horror that we need more.
Hello! I loved the idea, I translated it into Spanish so that more people can see this excellent work.
Hola! Me encanto la idea, lo traduje al español para que mas gente pueda ver este excelente trabajo.
Love the art direction and visuals, but the writing and concept in and of itself was remarkably pretentious feeling. That could be me projecting though. Good work, otherwise.
ggreatttt job
wish more horror games were like yours, in which the future of humanity looks so eerie.
Pretty good game (0_0)b
very good game even though it’s pretty short it actually made me feel really disturbed which not many horror games can do
Bro i found your body, you want it back
YeahNah man you cangive it backkeep itjuegazo
I watched a YouTube playthrough of this game years ago and it stuck with me so thoroughly that I had to play it for myself. Incredibly well done bite-sized experience that packs in worldbuilding, progressively dread-inducing body horror, and even some absurd dark comedy - all in about 5-10 minutes.
The desperation for people to belong to something, leading to a gross dependence on technology to find meaning... Nope not relatable at all! Jk I like how the fuzzy static over the graphics lends a sense of uncertainty or dissociation. I'm not sure how to articulate the way it makes me feel. My dread comes from a lack of understanding, which is probably the point lol. Dissatisfaction with the human condition creating a desire for artificial happiness and connection? Ego death and incomprehensible rebirth? Idk It's great though, chilling...
This game made me overwhelming uncomfortable and trying to understand what the underlying meaning was to this game... Youtube Link -
Super fond of this title - the dialogue is just right, the visual design is stunning. I'm very fond of the idea of organisms that can take over and so rapidly modify a body like this - it is a concept of deep, existential anxiety and dread for me. Really fun to play! The body horror reminds me (in a super departed and not intended as comparison way) of a favorite, Sanitarium. I feel so much dread and disgust/fascination it's hard to put into words. :) Thank you for this experience!
Really disturbing game... but cool!
A disturbing point and click horror game concerning human anatomy and the effects a fungus host has on it.
