Description
About This Game
You wake up in a dark, unfamiliar prison with no memories. You appear to be alone, your fear and isolation paralyzing you, until you hear the mocking voice of your own death shaming you into making your escape. Together, you and your death must work together to take advantage of each others' unique abilities by swapping who is in control of your form and overcoming the prison's ethereal labyrinthine obstacles. Along the way, you discover that your death holds all the answers, but is only willing to share when it fits his needs... or his amusement.
In Corporeal is an accessible precision puzzle platformer with a fully-voiced mature narrative and a linear, low-commitment campaign.
Swap between life and death, each with their own unique abilities and mechanics!
You can't escape this prison by yourself, but your death is the only one around to help you. Take advantage (and work around the restrictions) of each form's unique abilities to overcome each obstacle.
A mature, thought-provoking, fully-voiced narrative!
It can get existential when you only have your death to keep you company. In Corporeal relays its story through the conversation between your character and his sentient, snarky death, each of whom are fully voiced, as they explore mature themes such as identity, nihilism, privilege, and depression.
Accessible but challenging precision platformer gameplay!
Experience the thrill of precision-platforming without the frustration of strict manual dexterity requirements. In Corporeal features challenges with solutions that are exciting and rewarding to figure out and execute, but easy to perform.
A linear, one-sitting short story!
No quest checklists, no filler, no getting lost. In Corporeal is a short, linear story meant to be completed in one sitting at about the length of an episode of a TV drama.
