Hollowbody is a special title that we’ve had on our radar ever since it was announced in August of 2022. It’s a unique blend of sci-fi and horror elements with classic survival horror gameplay inspired by early 2000s horror titles.
One-man developer Headware Games (aka Nathan Hamley) has just released a playable teaser for the game on PC via Steam.
In the game, you play as Mica, an unlicensed Shipper working for an infamous ring of black-market freelancers who finds herself stranded in a long-abandoned British city. She’s grounded in the exclusion zone, surrounded by twenty miles of death and decay and sealed off by the towering, suffocating walls erected after the collapse, as she attempts to find her missing partner, Sasha.

Classic survival horror gameplay inspired by early 2000s horror titles.
