A living ship module for Mothership.

A 40-page crawl through the innards of a lost ceremonial offering, an ancient alien bioengineering factory and living ship called The Gift. In the body horror module The Stone-Flesh Gift, players will wade into the ship's systems, working to avoid its dangers, discover its secrets, and plug their brains directly into its organs to feel their thoughts.

A silhouette blocks the stars, darker than the space it drifts through. Several amber eyes encased in crystal peer out from the shadows. When dappled in light from the closest sun, the remnants of petroglyphs can be seen carved across its hull, hewn from a single black stone harder than steel. The ship has no comms, no transponder, just a pulsating thump within a membrane running through the stone like a vein of ore. A glistening docking umbilical gently sways as it’s pulled behind the vessel, stretching toward anything that approaches, looking to touch, to connect.

Traverse The Gift, a ship that eats and breathes and feels your clumsy boots plodding about within it. Let it caress your brainstem to impart its hopes and fears.
