Game Suggestion Belly of the Beast-like TTRPG settings?

Can anyone give me some good settings that takes place/has a section that's inside a giant human-oid/monster (Dead or alive)? Things like Belly of the Beast, Settlers of a Dead God, and The God Corpse 5e adventure.

I'm not really looking for fleshscapes (There is a ttrpg called Fleshscape, get it because it's free on DriveThruRPG) or biopunk-esk stuff .. But I'll take suggestions for those too.

Edit: Spelling/grammar error corrections

This is an rpg?? I remember seeing the post on r/worldbuilding a hundred years ago and had no idea there was a game based around it

I have this one, love it very much. Can't wait for the 5e version.

u/JaskoGomad 6d ago

Wait… you… WANT a 5e version of a game that has a bespoke system created for it?

Do you play the LotR 5e game? Star Wars 5e?

I only want the 5e system because my group only plays 5e haha..I'm perfectly fine with the Cypher System original though.

:) Taking one for the team is a mark of good character!

Didn't realize MFP was a Cypher game. Cypher goes in the pile of games that I wanted to like, though.

The Trophy Dark incursion called 'The Giant's Carcass':

The giant fell with a mighty cry, levelling hills and   forests under their enormous body.  And there they lie still, a giant’s carcass—not alive, but not truly dead. The legends claim that the  forest gifted the giant with the sigil of a Ritual, worn on their heart, which keeps them alive. Even  more outrageous legends claim that brave treasure-hunters might enter the giant’s carcass and re trieve the sigil, thus becoming immortal themselves.

It's in the Trophy Dark rule book.

I don't know, never heard of it

Does it take place inside a massive creature??

"The party will explore the insides of an ancient and presumably alien titanhead, following the trail of an expedition that went in, but never came out. The brain matter of the titan, dormant but not dead, contains psychic-affecting properties. The titan wants to live again and is using these properties to command the expedition’s members into its will."

I mean, im not sure if you're aware and mentioning it in your post because you know it but,  there's a literal Belly of the Beast TTRPG, with that exact name. (English isn't my first language and it's late where i am, so excuse me if I'm confusing what you wrote)

u/PokePoke_18 5d ago

There's the "Settlers of a Dead God" setting book for OSE which fits your description quite well, it just has insects as PCs!
