Strange Flesh
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Welcome to Strange Flesh: a sexy, gay, adult beat 'em up game from Greatest Bear Studios
You play the role of The Bartender, a master of the hypnotic arts and a servant of the bar, Strange Flesh. In the game, you'll infiltrate the mind of Joe, one of the bar's many troubled patrons and help him out however you see fit. Pummel your enemies into submission, corrupt them with your hypnotic smoke, or recruit them to your side. The choice is yours.
Strange Flesh is pretty short, just about 30 minutes long, but features three endings, lavish animation, and a killer soundtrack. Strange Flesh won the Melbourne Queer Games Festival Gold Medal in 2018!

SEQUEL! WHEN'S THE SEQUEL!!?
I have been looking for a beat em up for us gays. This fits the bill.
I have some ideas...
How can y'all afford keeping this game free? Is there a way to support your team?
มีวิธีเล่นบน Android ไหมครับ?
Is there a way to play on my phone?
I hope there is also for Android
Hi, I'm having an issue where if i plug my controller in, the game freezes on whatever from the game is on but keeps playing in the back ground. And when I unplug the controller the game resumes. This isn't a problem when I boot up the game but as soon as i use any my controller button on my controller it freezes again. hope what i've listed below helps.
Note: I have played this game before while using the same controller, but since recently re-downloading this game it hasn't worked with the controller.
Platform: Mac
Controller: Nintendo Switch Wired Controller
Controller Input App: Enjoyable (<--That's it's name)
Does anyone know how to get all the scenes in the gallery?
lose i every chapter. you get a cg each time you do. for the best ending, don't save and play through the game, then go trough the door that usually is locked if you save. hope that helped you.
Anyone know how can i open the exit door? And the last ending as well...
Don't save
thanks!!!
l love this game, wish this game update more new things. that would be great
What a nice game, is there a tutorial/guide to get all the cutscenes on the gallery?
The 3rd-7th cutscenes in the Cutscene Gallery won't seem to unlock. Anyone know how to unlock them?
Oh wait, it's losing in every level
You're just too good at the game!
okay i'm a little confused, how do you remove the stuff on the exit door? edit: nvm i figured it out
I absolutely loved this game! real nice art, interesting and simple plot and pleasant gameplay.
will you make any more games
Is there a way to get the third ending besides forcefully killing the bartender? What does it entail? I am also deeply enjoying the game, love the style, fighting mechanics and especially the music. But I do want to fully complete the game and all I want to know is how to get the third ending
If the third ending is closed off, getting it requires starting a new game.
I'll give a hint: in the ending area, what seems to be blocking the "exit" door?
First of all, I feel honoured to have my comment answered by the studio itself and secondly thank you so much for the hint. I thoroughly enjoyed the game and all its endings ( the third being my absolute favourite), I loved the music I've been listening to it for the past 2 days. The sprite work is fantastic and the overall game is an excellent homage to old-school beat-ups. I cannot wait to see what the studio has in store for the future, nsfw or otherwise.
algún día esto estará en android
Will this game be available on android in the future?
Unfortunately, try as I might, I just can't get this to work on the Steam Deck. The appimage works fine when running it directly in desktop mode, but it refuses to run when added to Steam as a Non-Steam Game, and as such won't work in game mode. 😢
I'm pleased to announce that I finally managed to get it to work. There's just two things you need to know to get the native Linux version running on the Steam Deck:
1) Make sure the filepaths are correct. BoilR messed this up when importing the game through itch, I had to go to the game's properties in Steam and manually browse to the appimage again for Steam to fill in the correct filepaths.
2) You need to use "--no-sandbox" in the game's Launch Properties from within Steam.
And boom! Works perfectly fine! I personally recommend changing the left joystick in Steam Input to mimic the d-pad, so you can use both the d-pad and joystick to move.
Thanks for figuring this out!
i did Play On android by run in web browser and This Happen Everything invisible except that thing
How??
Man this game is amazing. The Pixel art are amazing and very hot too. hehe I'd love to have more to play. I love it...
Just downloaded it and played for a bit, but the game's so great I had to come and comment. Congrats!
will there be an android version?
No Android version is planned. The game would not run well, nor would the controls be any fun.
Awesome!
I can't seem to get the last cutscene I already got the dominance and corruption scene but there is one that is still missing for me there. I tried punching boss until it is defeated but it only said that your punch is worthless or something like that...
Oh thanks!
I've played this on a PC, but because now the PC has been sold for something, so I want to play, but i just had android but there no android device and hopefully in the future there will be andro version
it won't be since the game is not gonna get any update , the game is completed.
Any tips on how to defeat the punk god boss? Idk what to do when the spikes come up and rainbow fireballs come out of no where lol please help
Punch or grab the ball gag in the colossal orc's mouth
Hi, can you try to make an Android version? please 🙏
This is an amazing game! Bit sad it didnt get more levels but Its still one of if not My All Time Favorite Bara Game. Thank you for porting it to Itch!
I forgot to add this: I really appreciate you added an USB controller support. Originally it was very difficult for me to play it on keyboard, but now it works flawlessly with my PS3 controller (I'm using SCP) and tonight I'm gonna play it. A LOT.
It was great before, now it's perfect.
Completely agree! This is the perfect mix of fun and hot, with amazing music and art. Controller support was the only thing it was missing, so happy to see it added!
Beautifully crafted game, from the art to the music and the story. Even the combat feels good once you get used to it. Was hoping there was an easter egg when defeating the final boss while drunk, but as it'll be extremely hard without debug mode, I can see why there wasn't one.
I must say, your game is absolutely one of the best bara games I've ever played. Thank you for uploading here to itch, you're a legend.
nostalgic
Lots of things!
"before our next project drops" 👀 💦
There are loads of hardcore porn games on Steam these days. Any plans to bring SF there?

THANK GOD IT WORKS
I really LOVE this Game.
Yet, I've just tried to play it on my standard-Linux-PC now and I get a white screen only but in the background everything seems to work fine.
So, "Electron" cannot be installed into this WINE-Emulator on Lutris it seems, so I won't be able to enjoy it until I either can find a solution for it (my Manjaro Distro has the Electron installed btw., so maybe I'll just need to use "System Libraries" - I'll tinker around with that for a bit, when I have the time).
But in the meantime: if you have still the source files for the Game, is there any possibility to try and build a Linux-Version from it, that uses the Linux-System's drivers and Electron maybe?
I'm sure other "Penguin"-OS-Fans would be happy about that, too. ^_^ <3
Cheers and still love the Game though - even though I can't play it without switching to another one of my Computers (Windows-Laptop or MacBook) sadly...
I actually have a Linux build but since I don't have a way to do ANY QA testing, I didn't feel confident listing it. I literally don't even know if it runs.
If you'd like to test it out, here's a link. If it works for you and you think it's of not-embarrassing quality, I'd be happy to list it on the game's page!
https://greatestbear.com/strangeflesh/Strange%20Flesh%20-%20Linux.zip
Woohoo! You're awesome, thanks! <3
I just started it - it's actually the first App-Image Application I've ever used on my Manjaro Linux so far, but it runs "like butta"/awesomely so far - I'll post it under here if I find any bugs, hang-ups or weird behavior altogether.
But so far, it's like one of the smoothest experiences I've had. Woohoo! I hope there isn't anything as I play along, but so far it's just as I remember it when first playing it on my Windows PC a couple of years ago.
Only thing missing to create a proper Desktop Launcher, is an Icon for the Launcher - either an *.ico or a *.png with the Game Logo would be cool to include in the Package for Linux since it's a little different to Windows and doesn't show it automatically as the App-Image-Icon (I still had the Windows-ZIP handy and could use the Icon from that one for now - but for other Linux Users, it'd be nice to include it in the Linux-ZIP ^_^).
Not sure how else I could set the icon in electron-builder (it's already set according to all the docs I have found) but I can include the full res icon in the Extras folder going forward.
Thanks for giving this a test and I've added it to the official downloads.
I don't think you need to worry about that - it's probably got something to do with Linux rather than your build then.
And since the Game's running in Fullscreen for me anyway, I don't care much about the Icon when it's started.
And the Icon for the Desktop Launcher is always manually added for Linux - at least in most cases since creating a Desktop Launcher involves adding an Icon manually on my Cinnamon Desktop UI, that I use with Manjaro.
So, no worries there for you, i.m.h.o. <3
This game was one of my all-time-favs so it's great to see it on itch now!
I seriously wished there could be more bara games like this one that combines bara content with side-scrolling fighting, but there wasn't so SF stays unchallenged!
Uma versão para Android?
Love, love, loved this game when it came out, so glad to have an excuse to play it again now it's on Itch.
This game has been out for a WHILE.
