Press release:
Bristol, United Kingdom – September 12, 2024.
The Bristol-based (the UK) indie games developer Headware Games, today announced with great joy and excitement that their tech-noir psychological/survival horror game “Hollowbody“, is now available for PC via Steam and GOG for $16.99 / £14.29 / €16.49.

A 10% launch discount is live for those that purchase Hollowbody during launch week, and the game’s haunting soundtrack is also available separately for $4.99 / £4.29 / €4.99.

To coincide with the launch, a new trailer has been released which showcases just some of the horrors that await within the exclusion zone.

A dystopian love letter to survival horror, Hollowbody effortlessly evokes classic titles of yesteryear, while carving out its own distinct take on the genre. Grimy and abandoned urban locations sit toe-to-toe with an eye-catching futurist aesthetic, while a mysterious, tech-noir narrative will grip players as they explore a long abandoned British city.

Set in the near-future, 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.

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 set in a dystopian near-future.
Carefully paced save points ensure tension is maintained whilst respecting the player’s time.
Difficulty options to aid players who prefer exploration over combat.
Post-game unlocks and features.

Hollowbody is now available for PC via Steam and GOG priced $16.99 / £14.29 / €16.49.
