Tech-noir survival horror Hollowbody crashes onto PC next month
Explore the ruins of a long-abandoned city and fight to survive the exclusion zone
Bristol, United Kingdom - August 15th, 2024 - Micro-indie dev Headware Games is today thrilled to announce 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 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 effortlessly evokes classics of the genre. 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 at her disposal. 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.
She needs to find a way out. Call for evac, scale the walls. Something. Anything. Survive.
