Micro-indie dev Headware Games has announced that its tech-noir survival horror short story Hollowbody has a release date.
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.
What is Hollowbody?
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.
