Re-body
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
NOTE: This game is NSFW; material is uncensored and explicit.
Re-body is a socio-experimental crawler/exploration game.
I created the Re-body project out of an interest to explore body perception, especially of queer experiences. 38 individuals were asked a simple question: how do you feel about your body? Participants were encouraged to think about their feelings in the past and present, and analyze how those feelings may have evolved or not.
This experience functions simultaneously as a game and anthology; players explore a desolate environment while searching for fragments—manifestations of thoughts and memories—which reveal confessions, writings provided by the surveyed individuals.
The game takes around 30-40 minutes to complete.
Special thanks to confession contributors:

This is great! Very cathartic. Part walking sim / part anthology zine that really does a great service in presenting the queer body from all angles and the struggle to love oneself and the ways we can and cannot.
(I will note I played this on my steam deck and it lagged really heavily in the overworld, so I wasn’t able to get farther than structure 3, but I really enjoyed what I was able to get to.)
Thank you Zach <3
