CORPUS CARNES IN CARNEM

Wake up, meatsack. Open up those crusty lids. Let the world wash over you.

No you cry I’m not a meatsack. I am a person, with hopes and dreams, with aspirations.

This is true, but it is an abstraction. It does not preclude you from being a meatsack, a sack full of and made of meat, piloted by an evil computer. That computer is meat, too.

Everything else — your hopes, dreams, aspirations, yes, but also your image of yourself, your imagination, those Roy Morrison detective stories they sell in the corner shop, your responsibilities, the Teaush cultural group (with all its definitions, connotations, denotations, stories, folk tales, myths, ideas, desires), sexualities, “healthy” and “unhealthy” material lifestyles, “health” and “unhealth” as ideologicalized states of being (developed in the last hundred years as Gauss culture and medicine has come to dominate the international stage), and most especially gender identity and presentation — these are abstraction on abstraction on abstraction to make the huge, fleshy world comprehensible to your tiny meat-brain.

Good morning, meatsack. It’s time to wake up.

CORPUS CARNES IN CARNEM is a game about shambling meatsacks, horrible fleshy monsters piloted by dysfunctional computers which hate their hosts. It's inspired by Disco Elysium, The Metamorphosis, and The City & The City and also the art of Odilon Redon and Paul B. Preciado's Testo Junkie.

CORPUS CARNES IN CARNEM is a hack of the 3d6D system by Lucky Newt, written for the Hack it! 3d6D Jam in March 2022. It's a prototype, for now. 

This download contains everything you need to play except for: paper, dice, and friends. It's a prototype for a jam, and I might still change it a lot (or do nothing at all).
