Slime Feet

Editorial Worth it

Slime Feet is a short, free visual novel about two women maintaining an intimate long-distance relationship via text while one slowly dies from a devastating infection. The game pairs explicit sexual roleplay with existential dread, told almost entirely through messenger dialogue and clinical research logs. The overwhelming consensus from the community is that it works: players consistently report being moved to tears by the authenticity of the characters' connection, the realism of how they communicate (typos, fragments, emotional vulnerability), and the cruel inevitability of the ending. Many readers—particularly those with chronic illness, long-distance relationships, or queer experiences—describe it as personally devastating in a way that feels earned rather than manipulative. The presentation (distorted collage backgrounds, carefully chosen music, text effects) reinforces the atmosphere effectively. However, there is genuine creative disagreement about what the game actually is. Several thoughtful reviewers feel the sexual content overwhelms rather than serves the emotional core: they argue the sex scenes are often played straight and detached from the body horror premise, making the game function more as elaborate fetish fiction than as psychological tragedy. Others (including the majority) find the sex scenes essential to the experience—well-written, tender, and inseparable from how these characters express love and cope with loss. A small group found the font/visual effects difficult to read or triggering. The game has no save system and must be completed in one sitting; it runs to about 45 minutes to an hour.
