Fleshgait

Fleshgait is a survival horror game about the disappearance of Damien Mara, who vanished during a camping trip at 12:03 AM on September 16th. The search for him was called off on October 1st at 10:00 AM, with no evidence found. You explore the Sullivan Estate, where paths, enemy encounters, item placements, puzzles and jump scares can vary between playthroughs.

Explore the estate

You can play with fixed camera angles and panning cameras, or switch at any time to an over-the-shoulder third-person perspective. Puzzles and item placements shift dynamically, while the event system places jump scares at random based on your progress. Your story pathline can bring you into contact with different side characters, and these interactions can change the possible endings. Your decisions and actions also determine the fate of NPCs you encounter.

The game minimizes menu use. Inventory items are carried on your character’s item belt or in their hand, and discovered notes are held in their hand as well. There are no in-game menu interactions apart from the map menu. As you explore and inspect items, your character speaks descriptions aloud.

Enemies

The estate is home to several kinds of evolving threats:

• Stigmatized: Zombie-like enemies that conventional weapons can temporarily put into a dormant state. They eventually reactivate and mutate according to the damage dealt to them.
• Fractal: A hive of worm-like organisms that form a constantly evolving chain. If not dealt with properly, they can spread, transform and multiply.
• Fleshgait: An unpredictable entity known in folklore by this name. It cannot be killed and has many surprises in store.
