An absolutely freakish body horror experience that NEEDS to be longer. I hope the sequel expands on this lore, as its really the kind of horror that unnerves me in the best way.

A cool horror mostly text based game. It takes like 10 minutes to complete it and it's free. Go check it out.

Tan tenso como terrorifico, esta pequeña historia de transhumanismo y body horror es de esos experimentos que deseas se hagan mas largos. Tan brillante como simple y tetrico.

Sometimes guys just want to forfeit their body over to mushroom science. Just as a treat y'know.


Excellent bit of micro-horror - great writing and truly fantastically evocative art

"Aha! You've discovered my rotting bones."

another yames banger

A really solid experimental game about body horror and human evolution. Seems to serve as a bit of an intro to this developers style and some of their other works, which I am now very interested to check out.

it's a good thing i dont share my pc with my father anymore because having a file titled discovermybody.exe would incite more questions than i'm inclined to answer

Really cool, idk whether or not it's transhumanist. Really cool aesthetic and does a good job balancing making a statement with inviting more questions. Definitely worth the less than 15 minutes it takes to complete.

Wish it was longer, would love to learn more lore and more people being infected.

guess I'll never play the violin again

Dura poco, y con lo que dura me dejó mal cuerpo.

It's a cool and creepy horror short game. It's not fleshed out but it's not really supposed to be, and for what it is it's a good time.

Mindblowing trans-humanist piece of media.

A good case study in how to quickly establish a sense of unease and tension. It also goes to show good horror requires a well-nurtured sense of imagery.

A mechanically barren experience that offers some vaguely interesting art and atmosphere that isn't developed upon to a remotely satisfactory degree.

only horror that actually makes me bawl is body horror be it because i suffer from body dysmorphia but yeah it just makes me scream

now this is also cheap as the other game from this creator cheap gameplay cheap writing cheap design and cheap scares (is a scream the best you can do come on)

still this manages to be more unnerving than the other game for sure and to this moment i have no idea if these good reviews come from trolls or if people genuinely like these and i dont want to judge i just want to understand

anyway nice 2 minutes of my life ? i also wanna become a flower if i gotta be real with you but not with this medical therapy or whatever that is

also what the fuck is up with these titles

The mixing of horror and comedy can be a tricky balancing act. Too much comedy and the horror elements can turn kitschy and ridiculous. Too much horror and the comedy turns into a lame distraction. Discover My Body, thanks to its punchy, ingenious writing, sufficiently manages both without taking too much of your time.

The term Kafkaesque is often used to describe works focusing on transformative body horror but it's rarer to see Metamorphosis-inspired fiction that seems to understand the famous author's wit and tries a similar kind of comedy. The game manages to be funny and horrifying! Yames' excellent brand of dark humor has been even more developed in his latest game Growing My Grandpa!, a game that further explores these themes of body transformation and human connection. And while this particular game is but a simple, five minute exploration of the idea, it can still serve as an excellent introduction to the developer's uniquely surreal aesthetic and pungent writing that is wonderfully expanded upon in their later projects.

A short search and find adventure telling of a near future body horror medical practice. As uncomfortable as it is brief, this is yet another upsetting experiment from Yames.
