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.

Probably the best Lovecraftian horror game I've played in a long time, it really knows how to draw you in and make you want to push deeper. The story combined with great visuals and good characters makes this an easy recommendation, and for that price it's more than a good deal.
Grim and brutal, but has its funny moments. It's very simple but also efficient at what it does, which makes its brutality shine. The visual designs are really pleasing in their gloomy way, and the dialogues are satisfying (the story is told through the dialogues and "bonus questions" you can ask without progressing, and it frames the simple lore pretty well). The chapter selection is really well done, which makes going back for achievements super easy. Also I don't usually experience megalophobia but two moments (well one place's particular pov, and one event) made me VERY uncomfortable so good job with that lol.

cinera ti salvo io, i can fix sadur........
I always love the games Studio Ortica puts out! Always super interesting and very unique! The Old Flesh of Nuraga is no different! Not super scary, but very creepy at times. It deals with some tough choices, and coming to terms with the fact that sometimes you can't sacrifice your own well-being for the betterment of someone that you are unable to help. Great game. Really thought provoking and left me asking more questions about the world! Also, loved the references to [spoiler] Loan Shark [/spoiler].
Scary Scuffed Games #502 https://twitch.tv/DitoMido Bisherige Reviews Archiv: https://rsg.ditomido.de/archive Vorgeschlagen von: Chaoskater The Old Flesh of Nuraga ist wieder leider nicht sehr gruselig aber unfassbar atmosphärisch und visuell beeindruckend. Sehr cineastisch, atmosphärisch und mit einem Interessantem Worldbuilding und bewegenden Dialogen. Das Gameplay besteht aber überwiegend nunmal aus Dinge suchen, Putzen und abgeben. Leider hatten wir nur einen Schreckmoment und sogar dieser war eher mild. Rating: Dito: 4.2/5 Chat: 4.13/5 Gesamt: 4.17/5
I actually had a hard time collecting my thoughts enough to write this review. This game is not your typical lovecraftian frolick through ancient bloody ruins, although it certainly has those elements. It played beautifully with standard settings on my old steam deck. The atmosphere is gorgeous. The storyline is… something better experienced than spoiled. I highly recommend this game if you can tolerate the themes. I appreciated the warning in the beginning. It did not put me in a bad headspace, but it did make me think. I have no complaints about the gameplay, the loop is fun and interesting. I’ve had this wishlisted forever and I’m glad I bought it. I might need to come back, though. Not sure if I’m healthy enough for endings 2-4.
Por 4 euritos, The Old Flesh of Nuraga es una compra obligada para cualquier amante de Lovecraft o Clark Ashton Smith. Studio Ortica está en racha ofreciendo juegos de terror con precios MUY ajustados pero que ofrecen propuestas verdaderamente interesantes tanto en lo mecánico como en la voz narrativa y temas que proponen. Visualmente es una maravilla y sabe mantenerte pegado a la pantalla durante las 2.5h aprox. de horror cósmico entre las dunas que ofrece.
Absolutely love this game; art, sound design, story, all of it works perfectly together to create the immersive experience I had. I also loved the horror elements that were slowly introduced throughout the game, ramping up with each new relic found.
adoro ogni vostro gioco !!! perfavore aggiungete Piu' finali... o fate dei dlc ps vi adoro comunque e consiglio questo gioco a tutti !!! siete la mia casa di sviluppo piu' preferita fra tutte
Questo gioco è stato FANTASTICO dall'inizio alla fine i dialoghi il retro religioso anche l'attivita di scavare e anche la lore tutto questo 10/10 forse aggiungerei un paio in piu di finali o aumentare l'effetto di jolao le streghe e robe del genere magari finali su di loro
