_____________________________________

A dystopian world where animal meat has become poisonous, forcing humanity to turn to its own species for food. Decades later, the practice has become completely normalized—humans are bred, raised, processed, sold, and consumed under carefully sanitized language.

You live in a society where questioning the system is dangerous, empathy can be treated as weakness, and the difference between a person and a "product" has been deliberately erased.

Welcome to the world of Tender Is the Flesh.

What happens next is up to you.
