Body of Work

About the Game

Body of Work is a spooky cosy game about curating a museum, where the tactile work of unboxing, cleaning, and arranging objects gradually reveals the stories held by the space and its visitors.

You play as Ellis, the new caretaker of The Widow’s Cabinet. As you handle fragile antiques, maintain displays, and live alongside the collection, you begin to learn about the people who regularly return to the space and their stories, relationships, and mysteries.

This haunting narrative experience invites introspection through ritual and reflection.

• Curate the museum by placing furniture and antiques

• Clean, combine, and arrange objects

• Meet regular visitors and learn about their experiences and relationships

• Observe how objects and people interact within the same environment over time
