Playable Teaser Now Available for Tech-Noir Survival Horror Title ‘Hollowbody’
With Chasing Static developer Headware Games releasing their psychological Survival Horror game Hollowbody later this year, it only makes sense to give prospective fans a taste of what’s on offer, right? Case in point: Headware Games has released a “playable teaser” for Hollowbody, which is available on the game’s Steam page.
The short 20-30 minute teaser for Hollowbody shows off the game’s world and core systems (exploration, puzzle solving and combat), allowing players to mess around in a curated section of the game. “I’ve been working super hard to get this to a standard where I am happy to release it publicly,” says Nath of Headware Games, who’s also doing the music for Hollowbody.
Described by Nath as a “dystopian alt-future take on Silent Hill“, Hollowbody follows Mica, an unlicensed Shipper working for a ring of black market freelancers. Mica finds herself stranded in a long abandoned British city in the exclusion zone, which is “twenty miles of death and decay sealed off by the towering, suffocating walls”. With limited resources at your disposal, Mica must push her way through the zone while solving puzzles, managing resources and fighting for her life as she tries to find a way to escape beyond the wall.
Hollowbody currently doesn’t have a release date, but is aiming for a release sometime this year.
If you were wondering just where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was all this time, you won’t have to wait much longer. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have announced via a new trailer that the game will launch for the Xbox Series, Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam on August 27.
Pre-orders are open now, and include the Heritage Pack DLC and an in-game digital artbook.
Set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.
Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Players will shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present.
