  • Well-written body horror game that provides a voice to the state of mind of the body to be birthed, and explores the strange and disturbing implications of a conscious being knowing it is inside another. Is it a parasitic relationship? Or is it something more beautiful? I like how the game explores these ideas without becoming too exploitative or shocking. Really well done.

This visual short story is gross and frightening in all the right ways. The sudden visual change with the ending really hits home. Nice job.

(As an aside, you can actually mark this as having a Linux build too, since you're using Ren'Py. It'll run just fine.)
