* NothingIsScarier: The brother's fate should you decide against bursting out of him. The game ends with you lamenting over not having the gumption to go through with the act of consuming him completely... but it never shows what follows as a result of having his insides get eaten over time.

* SensoryAbuse: The final three levels feature progressively worse sensory assaults: the seventh stage replaces the music with a loud, high-pitched tone, the eighth has EpilepticFlashingLights in the background, and the final stage turns both of these things UpToEleven with the tone becoming higher and louder while the flashing becomes much more intense.

The game can be played [[http://dagobah.net/flash/Covetous.swf here]], though those with epilepsy should refrain from playing it thanks to the last level having some ''serious'' EpilepticFlashingLights.

* SurrealHorror: Complete with low quality graphics, creepy music, and very disturbing dialogue. It gets a whole lot worse by the end.
* StylisticSuck: The game has low quality pixel art and ear-grating music... and yet, it doesn't detract from the horror that is a parasite consuming one very unfortunate person from within.



* TwoSiblingsInOne: A physical example, in contrast to the trope's usual spiritual definition. It's not a good time for either, of course.

''Covetous'' is an SurrealHorror IndieGame. You play as some kind of parasitic creature (probably a fetus) living inside of your brother's body, eating him from the inside by moving over the green and yellow patches. You gradually get bigger and bigger the more you consume, and between each level the parasite narrates its story.
