Fleshchild

Overview
Fleshchild is a Yume Nikki fangame made by Bleet (Blt) (Devblog), who also made The Looking Glass.

It is different than most fangames, staring Vis, a "fleshchild". (After getting the female or male brain, Vis becomes either Visi or Vice respectively.) You explore and collect effects and items to further mutate Vis and to please Fleshmother (the fandom name; bleet calls it the "big eye thing").

Gameplay
You explore the world and can save at "Fleshflowers"(flesh that looks like a flower/plant.)

The main objective of the game is finding body parts for Vis to absorb, and collecting effects.

After exploring the real world and finding a body part, Fleshmother will call for you to return to the nexus, and you can dream about the day.

Pressing SHIFT alows you to be in Puddle form, a flattened version of Vis that can sneak under doors.

The game focuses on more linear exploration and puzzle-solving, usally finding an item/tool to unlock a new area or get another item.

After exploring the real world, you return to the nexus and dream in a fleshbubble. Once you leave a dream, you cannot return, so it is advised to thoughly explore each dream before leaving.

Plot
The game starts off with Vis sleeping and Fleshmother watching over them. Fleshmother tells Vis that it is time for them to grow, and Vis breaks free of their "growth polyp" to begin the process.

After gaining a brain and being able to read human language, you find out about multiple missing people with their body parts mutilated, possibly meaning there are other fleshchildren seeking body parts.

The game is still in a very early stage, so not much else is known about the plot.
