>TRUST NO ONE.

Borrowed Skin is a short first-person narrative horror game about paranoia, failing light, and the cost of trusting the wrong person.

Estimated playtime: 15 to 25 minutes.

> THE WORLD 

In an alternate world consumed by war, soldiers and civilians share whatever shelter remains. Bastion Vesper is an old military bunker: under-supplied, half-forgotten, and missing from most official records.

When the entrance collapses and the power begins to fail, the people inside discover that Vesper was built to keep more than bombs out. Every survivor has a reason to lie. Some secrets are safer in the dark.

Something inside the bunker wears a human face. It listens, it lies, and when the lights fail, it moves. You cannot trust anyone.

Perhaps not even yourself.

> WHAT YOU DO

  • Explore a sealed wartime bunker as the lights continue to fail.
  • Speak with a fixed cast of survivors, each hiding something.
  • Follow objectives, profiles, and discoveries on your field tablet.

    Bury the Dark
    Trust No One
    Flesh Tomb

The game has a really nice concept but on the browser version you cannot use the mouse to look around (I have a laptops touchpad)  so I couldn't really play.

thank you for letting us know we are looking into the issue

Thank you for fixing the issue! I was able to play perfectly fine and I have to say I really liked it! 

The characters were unique, the small spaces with alternaning dark and bright ambience gave extra suspance and the fact that some conversations and questions can only be done during certain light/dark moments defently made me panic a little. It's a 10/10 for me! ^_^
