The Story

The story follows a zombie virus as it invades a human body and encounters white blood cells—the guardians of the immune system—along with other unknown defenses.

To take control, the virus must explore the body and reach its DNA to complete the infection.

Into the Flesh gameplay inside a human body

I had long been fascinated by zombies and started to wonder: why do zombies always have to be the villain? Into the Flesh tells the story from a zombie virus’s perspective. Players fight white blood cells and navigate the body to reach its DNA.
