Show Me The Body

Show Me The Body is a short, self-contained visual novel that drops players into a darkly comic, pulp-inflected story about latex-clad characters, violence, and the uncanny. Designed as a linear reading experience, Show Me The Body runs about 9,000 words—roughly 45–60 minutes—and offers a single ending with no player choices, making it ideal for players who want a complete, tightly written mini-novel they can finish in one sitting. Content is mature: expect violence, sexual themes, drugs and zombie imagery, so this title is explicitly not suitable for minors.

Development Team

Show Me The Body was written, illustrated, and sound-designed by its creator as an entry for the Toxic Yuri VN Jam 2 (June–July 2026). Images were curated by the developer or taken from stock sources, and sound effects were drawn from community sound libraries with additional samples contributed by several noted composers. The piece features a player-reading format and a cameo appearance by Kasane Teto; the creator also acknowledges testers and supporters who contributed during development.
