your body, an altar

As I was going through games in the bundle for racial justice and equality, I saved this game to try and just went through the twine game and it quite literally took my breath away. the pacing, the writing, absolutely incredible. I had such a lovely time and it pushes me to take it upon my own little journal to see what stories I can bring out as well! an excellent experience all around.

A friend recommended this game to me, and I was specifically interested in the twine version, though I did read the PDF versions first, and thought they spoiled me for the twine version, but they SUPER didn't, and the twine version is so good, I have played every route, clicked every link, I want to eat your words, they are so good, this is literally everything I have ever wanted to see exist in the world, like you?  YOU GET IT.

I highly recommend this game to anyone with an interest in subtle horror and sensuality. It is not explicitly sexual but definitely titillating. It also explores compassion and loneliness in a really beautiful manner. I'm looking for more writing and games in this style. If you're a fan of horror with a more psychological side, you should check this out.

This game is haunting and beautiful. It displays trust and intimacy as service and mercy, it is the desire to understand, appreciation of that understanding, and mutual respect for boundaries and desires alike.

What a special experience!

I played the Twine version. It was rather short, around an hour or less, but well worth it. There are 6 total paths you can take and each one explores an aspect of humanity even though you are interacting with entities that are not human. The emphasis on compassion and connection is wonderful. As the main character you enter a space of vulnerability where you both give and receive.

The writing is also phenomenal, as well as the artwork and music that accompanies it. This game was very effective in setting up a good atmosphere, and I suggest you play somewhere quiet with little distraction and really soak it in.

Beautifully made. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it! 

While the game isn't awfully long, it was wonderfully written. I was captivated every second with the detail, and as others have said, it's much more sensual and gentle than the CW lets on. Does contain some slightly disturbing imagery in some parts. Starts off seemingly dark, but really is about empathy and opening up to someone

Something I truly enjoyed, felt the chills when the imagery was so strong I could almost feel the breath of the Other. Interestingly enough, lighter than you'd expect, due to the content warnings. All you need to connect is a willing heart, and an open mind, and this game was delightful.

Art and writing are phenomenal and encourage further imaginations. I've been replaying it at night to feel the ambience again, which both stills and rekindles my craving for more.

I really love this game. It's one of the most interestingly sensual and intimate things I've ever had the pleasure to read. Honestly I really hope OP does more stuff in this universe.

I feel like this game was made for me, personally. It's so exactly  my shit but also greatly exceeded my expectations. The art is gorgeous and the writing is wonderful and evocative. 10/10, 5 stars, two thumbs up, would and have recommended to a friend, this spoke to my soul and made me feel things.

Fascinating and more easily digestible than it originally appears. The writing is initially foreboding (especially the content warnings) but ultimately gentler than it appears. Several stories about negotiating emotional exchange between hurt people. These moments can be frightening, but they are also kind.

Might be a bit long and I'll try to keep it spoiler free, for those glancing at comments questioning about giving it a go.

In the short and easy, I highly recommend this even if it might not be your cup of tea at a glance initially. (Twine, then PDFs if interested.)

I enjoyed this thoroughly and appreciate the warnings at the start, the tone and the way things went felt like it'd be really heavy on the heart.

To my surprise it turned out lighter (marginally) than I expected but no less deep in each part, together with the art, really helped tie things together all the better.
