Bad Flesh and now These Heavenly Bodies are my favorite games from you - I'm very fond of the idea that the statues are holding some unspeakable, unknowable horrors. I love the buildup of dread that comes each time we visit this little lab..
God, I love games like these. So ominous, with so little explanation. This was a whole experience. And I love the dialogue too. They're amazing at delivering the general idea, while still being short, which really leaves you wanting to know more (and at the same time not hehe). Not to mention some killer lines that sound like they straight-up came from a poem. I'd do anything to read a whole story like this or have a full-length game experience around this concept.
Now, one thing I'm dying to know is, was the title inspired by something in particular?
this is such an interesting concept, love it so much!! i hope this isn't too random of a request but if you're up for it i'd love translating your game to spanish. all of your games have an unique vibe and since you release them for free i think they really deserve to reach a bigger horror enthusiast audience :)
This game might be short, but it packs a punch! The concept of ancient statues containing preserved bodies is so eerie, and the pixel art adds a unique touch—those 5-10 minutes flew by!
I'm always amazed by the amount of information you can convey in pixelated games, especially low res like this one. I can't wait for more of your work man, keep it up!
This is called... "tension." Originally a technological limitation in the first Resident Evil, long transitions when entering doors in horror games have become a staple reference for the sake of mood and pacing. Hope it helps, kiddo.
hey bud! This wasn’t all the helpful, it’s kinda common sense what it is. Just doesn’t really fit here. I’m all for pacing, but this feels too artificial and too drawn out. Hope it helps, kiddo.
Absolutely AMAZING story, I would have played a 6 hour game of this, watched the 4 season HBO series and read the books, it’s so good, such a great idea.
Very well done, I thoroughly enjoyed this game. I love when these strange and obscure concepts are "fleshed" ;) out in game form like this. It reminded me of Discover My Body, which I very much enjoyed. Thank you for this delightfully unnerving experience.
Very interesting game where science and technology are part of the church to try to understand the divine plan. The story and graphics are very well done, where little by little things get more gloomy until they reach the end.
It reminded me of the games "Discover My Body" and "Water Womb World" and there is no doubt that more games like yours are needed.

That made me so uncomfortable, which I think was the point, very well done!

If you thought that Discover my body was weird, These Heavenly Bodies takes it a step FARTHER! Youtube Link -
Really cool idea, all though quite rough on the edges
An eerie and unsettling game. Really appreciated how raw and grotesque this game was.
I can feel the Holy Spirit now, Mr. Krabs. What a great little game. Thanks for making and sharing it.
It was alright 6/10
instant classic 10/10
Very cool! Reminds me of the monk entombed in the buddha statue that was found like a decade ago. Great job and awesome concept.
Discover our Bodies but religious
😭

Made a video
NOTHING CAN EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS HOLY CRAP THE ART IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
I love how short and simple this game is! The ambient soundtrack also fits pretty well!
is this inspired by discover my body?

thanks so much, i appreciate that
LOVE THE VIBE!!!!!
this is so interesting
i love how it's vague but still intriguing. i love the body scanning and the (bad) flesh eating.
another Dan McGrath banger
haha thank you!
Wow that was something lol
WAY too much time between pressing something and it actually happening, otherwise cool game

this was good! the simple graphics added to the depth of horror I felt in my body XD
Thanks so much!
Absolutely AMAZING story, I would have played a 6 hour game of this, watched the 4 season HBO series and read the books, it’s so good, such a great idea.
Also: it was gross beyond imagination, loved it.

Absolutely loved the story line of this one. Makes me curious what will happen next. Atmosphere was also super unsettling.
that is super crazyy
Amazing atmosphere. Very interesting.
loved this !! the ambience got me good
The sound in this is incredible.
Good game good flesh
hi ,, do u want to make a collaboration ??
It reminds me a lot of Discover My Body. Overall a pretty good short horror game! It’s a shame you couldn’t finish it in time.
Short but not bad at all for what this was! Definitely weird and creepy. Made a video on it.
BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER
haha thanks so much
