What Is The Body Monstrous?
The Body Monstrous asks the player to take care of a body while a disturbing presence occupies the same small life. Daily effort, pain, and the difficulty of asking for help give the monster more than one possible meaning.
How to Play The Body Monstrous
This is a roughly fifteen-minute narrative experience rather than a combat game. Move through compact pixel-art scenes, complete simple actions, and follow the conversation toward its emotional conclusion.
