ex·tra·ne·ous non·hu·man gen·e·sis

noun

The unwanted birth of a nonhuman creature. This commonly occurs during the birth of a single child, in which the inhuman lifeform blooms until becoming noticeably active within the body of the human child.

Flesh is a text-based narrative game from the perspective of an extraterrestrial alien growing unknowingly inside his human brother.  Will you help them escape their brother's flesh prison, or will you try and coexist despite being nonhuman? There are 2 endings, and many hidden secrets to find. 

The idea for this game was inspired by a relatively obscure flash game.  After some research, it has been found that the original creator did not want to be tied to their original game, nor wanted any attention drawn to it. Consider this a form of tribute to a small flash game that changed how I think, with my own added personal flair. 

Warning: Although this game contains only text and occasional sound effects, there are major themes of body horror and other topics that may be found 'disturbing'. Please take this into consideration before deciding to play. If this kind of horror isn't your thing, consider checking out some of my other works from my page.

I remember the flash game you're talking about, I think - it really impacted me, too, all those years ago-  so I'm glad that you were able to take the concept that really had me hooked and expand on it. Great job!

Great to hear you enjoyed it!

God, I find this story sadder than anything. It's awesome. I wish I had more to say but that's all I can think. How many endings are there if I may ask?

Thanks for playing! There are 2 different endings.

This is really cool, I think the story was told in a strangely poetic way. Good job
