Under the Skin is a 2004 adventure game developed by Capcom Production Studio 4 for PlayStation 2, centered on an alien named Cosmi who must generate maximum chaos across CoCo Town and other locations. Using a specialized ray gun, Cosmi can scan and absorb DNA from any character he targets, then assume that individual's appearance and abilities. These disguises enable a range of disruptive tricks — for instance, adopting a human form to emit a sound audible only to dogs, startling nearby residents into dropping coins. Collecting those scattered coins is the core objective, as the coin tally determines whether Cosmi earns enough points to return home. Rival enemies compete for the same coins, creating a competitive dynamic. The concealment element adds tension: causing too much disruption risks exposing Cosmi's alien nature, which carries consequences for his progress.
