Im uploading a patch and a new installer today, but anybody who crashes in the laboratory ending with the barrel, for now do this:
"use" the barrel while you are IN monstervision.
Deeply sorry about that, I thought I got rid of that bug, but now I´ve made some major changes to the logic there so it works for granted... Sigh, what a letdown. The part after the rooftop is pretty wicked, my fave, so its worth a check. Edit: Here´s the patch.

Older Computers:
Also, I´ll release an "old computer" patch later on today, and update this newspost. Its so that the excessive use of particles doesnt kill a few older computers. So yeah, keep checking here. Edit: Added the older computers-patch
Other ramblings:
There´s ALOT of stuff going on behind Flesh right now, so this will definately keep me busy for a few days... expect more updates and rants here in the mod profile, as well as some other websites. Also, later on, I´ll make an version 2.0 where I take hearing impaired in notice (subtitles, more visual clues) Sorry for not being able to get that stuff in this initial release. But yes, there´s some cool stuff coming in a few days (or a week).
Oh and dont forget to vote on Flesh in MOTY competition this year. I promise CHANGE!!
So yea, while it download, or after you´ve tested it, I hope you´ll scroll a bit upwards and click the "vote" button somewhere above this article. Thank you in advance.

Enjoy the holidays, have alot of presents, good food, and fun with this mod!

For all you installer haters, here´s a pure zipped folder you can extract into: "Steam\steamapps\SourceMods" After that, remember to install the "SourceSDK...
The idea here is, if you have framerate issues, this patch takes most of the particles and shader effects out. Extract the contents into Flesh´s mod...

Just finished playing this and it's excellent. It's one of the most original mods I've played in a while. The art design was rock solid. I loved the use of color and lighting. The music and sound effect use was great, as well as the voice acting. The overall feel is as unique as mods like curse. Usually mods don't focus on telling a story, but Flesh does and carries it out almost flawlessly. I liked the use of voice recorders and messages to tell what has not been told by the in game dialog.
The level design for the most part was good. I really liked the geometry in the cave level and the spirit world level. You nailed those areas spot on. The area that could have been improved the most was the exterior of the manor, especially the entrance.
Game-play wise, it was very fun, except for some minor bugs. I like games that involve sneaking. You got a decent sneaking system set up, although it is not always too consistent. In the first level with the ghouls, I could go right up to them even without sneak mode on, and they wouldn't see me. I though it would always be like this, but soon found it that it wasn't. Also, the enemies would sometimes get stuck, making sneaking unnecessary. You did a good job with the puzzles. They were intuitive enough to be solved quite painlessly.
I was surprised by the relatively few number of critical bugs in this game. the worse one was the one with the barrel, but that was fixed with the update. Great job and good luck on any future projects!
No weapons
No fighting
Only survival
Final Destination.
Where oh where is the skeleton key? I feel that's the solution to all my problems, such as 'how do I get the green skull out of the stone?'
Whats the point of putting *Spoiler* in comments? or not and just giving a spoiler all the same. Im sure if you guys have problems, you should keep them off this area due to the downloaders not wanting spoilers.
Amazing mod, enjoyed it a lot. Very well done the hijack system from Siren games and the atmosphere is very scary especially at the manor. 10/10
Clock's hands aren't moving
use the mouse buttons.
I did, no dice
e:reset the game and now it works. Huh.
This is a good mod, I'll say that right off the bat. It certainly has a unique style and atmosphere. Though I did enjoy playing it AND would recommend it, I'm going to have to agree with the "poor execution" remarks. The environments are very well done, but some things seem a little unpolished. The animations are somewhat... jerky and the controls feel awkward, mainly in the sense of no strafing. I would say for me, the lack of ability to strafe is the most prominent aspect of the awkwardness. I rated this a 9, as the successfully created atmosphere and and halfway decent voice acting make up for the odd handling.
how about not use your mouse to turn and use the controls the developers present you with?
