A woman is violated by a man. In a final act of rebellion to preserve her humanity, she takes control and opens her stomach. Unable to finish what she started she waits for you, and asks you not to look away.
Biophobia is an experimental art game that intertwines dissection and gardening mechanics to explore themes of trauma, death and agency. The body becomes a site of decay and creation. You are invited to confront discomfort.
Features:Unique Gameplay: Combines a visceral yet delicate dissection with nurturing gardening mechanics.
Artistic Body Horror: Experience unsettling yet compassionate depictions of the human form. No gore, but hauntingly beautiful.
Sandbox Creation: Choose from a variety of seeds. Shape your own floral expression.
Experimental Aesthetic: A blend of surreal visuals and symbolic design, challenging traditional game conventions.
Short, Impactful Experience: Designed to be completed in ~20 minutes.
Cultural referencesInspired by the character Ophelia from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Clemente Susini’s wax figure the Anatomical Venus, and Fuyuko Matsui’s painting Keeping Up the Pureness, Biophobia reimagines historical depictions of women’s bodies through a modern feminist lens. Without text or dialogue, the game speaks through symbolic interaction, haunting visuals, and atmospheric sound.
Biophobia is a game intended for players who appreciate experimental design, symbolic storytelling, and confronting mature themes in an artistic setting. Some audiences may find the content of this game unsettling. Viewer discretion is advised.

While there are no explicit depictions of sexual acts, the game does include references to gender-based violence and oppressive cultural views surrounding women's bodies.\r\n\r\nThere are no portrayals of sexual assault, drug/alcohol abuse, or self-harm. However, players may encounter disturbing scenes related to death, vulnerability, and themes of control over the body.\r\n\r\nPlayer discretion is advised."
