This exciting upcoming survival horror game in a technoir style is about to be released and you should definitely have it on your radar! Developed by the creators at Headware Games, Hollowbody takes you on a journey into a dark dystopian world reminiscent of classic games like Silent Hill and Resident Evil.
The Plot of Hollowbody
In Hollowbody, you take on the role of Mica, an unregistered courier working for a criminal syndicate in a dark, near-future Bristol. After a crash on the edge of the city's habitable zone, your fight for survival begins. With limited resources and no way to call for help, you must find a way to repair your vehicle or find another way to safety.
Gameplay Aspects: Puzzles, Resources, and Post-Human Nightmares
The gameplay of Hollowbody is a mix of environmental puzzles, resource management, and combat against post-human creatures. The developers have placed a special emphasis on giving the player the feeling of being trapped in a living, disturbing world. To this end, they have introduced innovative mechanics such as fading wall animations and item descriptions in augmented reality.
Atmosphere and Inspiration
The atmosphere of Hollowbody is clearly influenced by games like Silent Hill and Resident Evil, but it also draws inspiration from current societal issues such as class conflict and wealth inequality in industrialized countries. The developers even took inspiration from their hometown of Bristol to design the game's environment.
