ABOUT FLESHWALK: AN EXPERIENCE

Fleshwalk: An Experience is a(n) FPS Soulslike that explores the complex topic of physical health and disability through an immersive experience. In Fleshwalk, the player battles the hostile inhabitants of Karmabog, a dreamlike (or perhaps nightmarish) world. The real-life skin of the designer's face does not just serve as inspiration for the gameplay, but to build the world in which the player explores. Fleshwalk is meant to be a short and poignant experience for the player, showcasing insecurity, visceral feelings, and what could happen when we allow our dreams to be deferred.

hi everyone! if you are seeing this post for the first time, my name is kristen! i am the lead designer behind lichen labs, an independent interactive media studio that creates games for social impact. i am currently developing a game, fleshwalk: an experience, which i will be posting more about here. this post serves as the post that will be pinned on my profile :) please stay tuned for more updates and information regarding myself and my games! i have been on tumblr since i was perhaps far too young, and it seems like it is a good avenue for both community building and an outward facing portfolio of my works as a studio. thank you for joining me on this journey!

memento vivere,

kristen𖦹
