The premise, in the publisher's words
"Soft Body is a meditative action game where you control two beautiful, gooey snakes at the same time. In the game, you paint the world with your body, and as you do so, the world changes around you and reveals new obstacles and challenges. Although the action is tense, the mood and aesthetic are contemplative and calm."
