About This 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.
