Description
About This Game
You are already dead.
In Bodyless, you become the ghost of a political prisoner wandering through the shadows of Taiwan’s martial law era. Float through confined cells, distorted courtyards, and fragmented memories where folklore and state control intertwine.
As you navigate shifting architecture and collapsing spaces, subtle mechanical systems infiltrate the environment. Sound surrounds you. Reality bends. Memory fragments. Bodyless is an immersive VR experience where history is not explained, but felt.
