Micro-indie developer Headware Games announced today that its tech-noir survival horror short story Hollowbody will launch for PC via Steam and GOG on September 12th.
To coincide with the announcement, a brand new release date trailer has been released, showcasing the horrors that await players within the walls of the exclusion zone.
Set in the near future, amongst the urban decay of a long-abandoned British city, Hollowbody is a dystopian love letter to survival horror. Its grimy, detailed environments exude an oppressive, cloying atmosphere, while its tight, tense gameplay evokes genre classics. A mysterious and disturbing tech-noir narrative complements the experience across the game’s 4-5 hour playtime.
Players take control of Mica, an unlicensed black market shipper who will stop at nothing to find her missing partner. After her hover crashes deep within the exclusion zone, she is left alone and stranded with limited resources. She will have to push her way through the zone, solve environmental puzzles, manage resources, and fight for her life as she tries to find a way to escape beyond the wall.
Hollowbody Features:
- Classic survival horror gameplay inspired by early 2000s horror titles.
- Cinematic blend of dynamic and fixed camera angles.
- Logic puzzles, resource management, and limited combat with a focus on narrative and exploration.
- Full voice acting.
- An emphasis on strong world-building building set in a dystopian near-future.
- Carefully paced save points maintain tension while respecting the player’s time.
- Difficulty options to aid players who prefer exploration over combat.
- Post-game unlocks and features.
Hollowbody is set to launch for PC via Steam and GOG on September 12th, 2024. It is available to wishlist now.
