Game Review: The New Flesh

The New Flesh is a short but very enjoyable (and quite trippy) musical experience. The entire game takes about 30 minutes to explore, but there is quite a bit to discover; plenty of funny little moments, creepy characters, and some pretty good music. My favorite moment was seeing the rats dancing on the trash cans.

The dithering and pixelated graphics were neat and they added a retro feeling to the game when paired with the simple mechanics and low-poly meshes. The gameplay is straightforward and sparked my curiosity without being too hand-holdy. The end sequence made me rather motion sick, but almost all videogames do that to me nowadays.

It reminded me a lot of those Itch.io indie games that show up at game jams. It seems there was a lot of love put into this game and it shows. Go check it out if you are interested. It's free!
