What is Second Skin?
Second Skin is an adult life sim told as a visual novel. You play Alex, who starts over in a new town with almost nothing: a cramped room, rent to pay, and a lot of people who each want something different. Your daily choices, jobs and relationships push the story in different directions.
It is a story about identity, desire and change, with crossdressing, feminization and gender-bending themes. You decide how far it goes.

Play a free adult game in your browser

How to play
- In your browser: press Play now. It works on desktop, tablet and phone, and the layout adjusts to your screen.
- On a phone: the game downloads its images and sounds as you play, so the first few minutes can feel laggy. It usually smooths out once the assets are loaded.
- Saving: progress is saved in your browser. Use Export Save in Settings for a backup, and Import Save to move it between devices.
