Flesh, Blood, & Concrete

About Flesh, Blood, & Concrete

Flesh, Blood, & Concrete takes place in a tired concrete apartment block with stained walls and barred windows. You move through it on foot, corridor by corridor and flat by flat, looking into rooms to see what is left in them. Its maker, io, released it on itch.io in 2021 and has kept it free.

It is built in RPG Maker and plays like the exploration horror games of that tradition: a place to walk through and a story told by what is in it. The pace is slow, and the building itself does most of the work.

The maker's own content warnings list meat and disembodied gore, unsettling images and sounds, an allusion to suicide and some existential dread. The horror is in the details of the rooms and the mood they leave, more than in anything chasing you.

It suits players who like atmospheric RPG Maker horror and can sit with something bleak for an hour. It has been translated by fans into many languages, and a Windows download is offered for anyone whose browser has trouble with it.
