You have a Giant Metal Body. If you run out of juice, you’ll probably die, but you might just flee to die another day.
If you survive at the end of your mission, it doesn’t matter. The war will continue to try and kill you another time.
If you die, it doesn’t matter. The war doesn’t care about your sacrifice.

Content Warning

War, death, violence, hopelessness, body horror, existential dread.

Survive, if only to die another day

Giant Metal Body is a game about what it means to be a Giant Metal Body in a war much bigger than you, that doesn't care about you, and which will destroy you no matter what.

This game was written with the intention of testing a particular system I'm working on. But it escaped my intentions and became something else. Or maybe I didn't quite know what my intentions were in the first place.

Make sure to keep safety tools handy to play it. You can find a bunch of them here: https://thegiftofdice.itch.io/safety-tools-and-wellbeing-a-curated-list
