What’s on this site.
Pictures, games and stories about waking up in someone else’s body. Here is each one, and how finished it is.
New pictures, one game you can play today, and two more being made.
Single-picture swaps, in the order they were made. One idea, one picture, no explanation.
See the gallery →The one thing here you can play today. Episode One runs in your browser: three routes, eighteen endings, and a body that remembers things you don’t.
Play the demo →A villain’s swap-ray misfires and a nobody wakes up on live television wearing the city’s favourite mask. A turn-based RPG where getting stronger means giving up more of yourself.
See the game →At 4:07, most of the world woke up somewhere else. Twenty-one stories, one event, and no explanation coming.
All 21 entries →Most body-swap stories go one of two ways: light fun with nothing at stake, or so serious they stop being fun to read. This site tries to do both at once.
These stories enjoy the genre and do not apologise for it — but the choices still cost something. The swap itself is never the point. What someone does in the hours, weeks and years after waking up is the real story, every time.
There is also no explanation and no way back. No machine to reverse it, no lab to break into, no cure. That is on purpose. Once you take away the escape, the only question left is who you are going to be.
Not honest against dishonest. Not good against bad. It is about which version of yourself you choose — and each story charges a different price for the answer.
Your old life is the real one and this body is just a costume. Keep your name, keep your habits, keep saying so — and find out how long you can hold on while everyone around you moves on.
Your old life is somewhere you used to live. This one is easier, it works better, and people are kinder to you — and you will be asked to prove you meant it, again and again, by people who are watching.
Here is the honest version for each one — what exists, and what is still just a plan. None of it has a date, and any date I gave you would be a guess.
Now: Episode One is playable, and it is the only finished thing on this site.
Now: the cast, the key art and a working battle build — and nothing joining them up.
Now: every entry is blueprinted and illustrated. None are written.
And the rest of the slate. A knight who storms the tower and wakes up as the princess he came to save. Five rangers whose minds rotate one body around the ring. Two strangers taken from a night road and returned into each other. Those are ideas with artwork and nothing else — they are on the front page to show you what is planned, not because any of them is close to done.
If something here matters to you more than the rest, the pages for Secret Identity and The Great Shift both take answers, and those answers decide the order.
Chrysalis Episode One is playable now, free, in your browser. Secret Identity is being made. The Great Shift is twenty-one stories that are planned and illustrated but not written yet — which is exactly why there is a vote on its page. There is a fuller breakdown in the road ahead.
Nothing here costs anything today, and there is nothing to buy yet. If that ever changes it will be said plainly, on the page for the thing that changed.
