About
On the barren island of Nuraga, you're stranded in the desert with your Grandpa. Your bull died of exhaustion, and Grandpa is too tired to march. Luckily, you've found shelter in ancient ruins where Grandpa can rest and you can look for food beneath the sand.
But when instead of desert potatoes you dig up ancient relics, Grandpa starts acting strange. He pushes you to dig deeper and deeper, heedless of the eerie atmosphere that permeates the ruins and the mysterious events happening around you.
The Old Flesh of Nuraga is a short narrative psychological horror game with treasure-hunting, branching dialogues, and multiple endings.
Use a divinatory bell to reveal hidden objects beneath the sand. Its ringing shows you where to search. Once you've found something, clean it of dirt, but be careful not to damage it.
Many items await you. Some are mundane, like a potato; others are cursed relics of a forgotten age; a few are alive. But all of them will change your fate, for better or worse.
Your Grandpa is the only family you have left after the death of your parents. He raised you with love, but he is getting old and frail.
Grandpa lived a long life. He made mistakes. He has regrets. He hides secrets. In the midst of the seeping madness, you may discover sides of him you've never imagined. Will you stay with him nevertheless? Or leave him with his sins to rot under the sun?
Nuraga is an ancient land with a long history, most of which has been forgotten. Legends survive, but they are only pale reflections of more sinister truths.
A cohort of characters lurk among the ruins: a Tomb Raider, a Warrior, a Mother, a Demon, and many others. Depending on your choices, you may or may not find them. Witness their decay and shape their final moments.

設定相當迷人的挖掘小遊戲,雖然大概知道繼續挖的劇情會是甚麼,但還是具有相當程度的娛樂性質的。
What another great game and story from the developers. The story sucks you in and you want to find everything. So many things going on in this game. I can't recommend it enough. To see my playthrough look here. https://youtu.be/sq4-chADmZ8 Maybe you'll pick up and the game and see if you can do better than me. Enjoy it and thank you for the potatoes.
The Old Flesh of Nuraga has a great atmosphere, an interesting premise, and a creepy desert setting. I especially liked the dynamic between the player and Grandpa and how the story gradually becomes more unsettling. Featured in Orjaxu Journey #6: https://youtu.be/SMqd6UTvBsc

Bisogna dirlo, questo gioco è un vero capolavoro di atmosfera e scrittura, una perla rara che vi rimarrà in testa anche dopo averlo finito. Il gioco rapisce fin dai primi minuti grazie a un'atmosfera incredibile, densa, magnetica e visivamente ispiratissima, capace di fondere folklore e mistero in modo perfetto. Ma il vero valore aggiunto sta in una scrittura eccelsa: sono rimasto particolarmente colpito dai dialoghi e dalla maturità psicologica nel tratteggiare il rapporto tra i personaggi, creando legami tridimensionali, veri e SCRITTI DA DIO. Per non parlare che il tutto è sorretto da un ritmo perfetto, in cui il gioco gestisce il tempo in modo magistrale, costruendo il mistero della storia un tassello alla volta e mantenendo la tensione sempre altissima senza mai annoiare. Giù il cappello davanti ai ragazzi di Studio Ortica, siete dei grandi.
Bellissima atmosfera e narrazione
I love the environment I love the story I love the grandfather
wowooowowoowowoowoooowow
I expected a surreal animal crossing museum-esque collectathon, and instead I was treated to a competently written bite-sized narrative gem about duty, reliance and the end of the world. Nuraga as a setting with its colorful cast of inhabitants is really compelling to me. I appreciate its brevity, pacing which cuts right down to the bone and its ability to stay grounded even when dealing with battles of cosmic proportions. Wonderful little game.
I enjoyed this game a lot. There is an interesting story with unreliable narrators, and some the writing reminds me of various tales I've heard growing up versus now. Will say that the game is not very scary, however, there is a lot of interesting ways in which the developers did horror. The game-play is pretty simple, and pretty relaxing minus the story. The style is pretty cool with it reminding me of modern retro 3D games. It is great; I hope it gets more popular! If you played the demo first, there is some changes added to the story and I suggest re-doing the beginning, so that you are all caught up.
well worth a play! cheap game with awesome unsettling art direction and great story/dialogue. for £3.59 there's not much reason not to!
