Throwback survival-horror sport Hollowbody is approaching September 12
Hollowbody was one of many standouts from Steam Subsequent Fest earlier this 12 months, and it’s popping out actual quickly.
At a time when everyone seems to be extraordinarily nervous in regards to the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake, Hollowbody seems like a complete throwback to that PlayStation period of survival horror. Set in a near-future dystopia, you play as a black market runner who crashes their flying automotive right into a grim UK housing property filled with bizarre issues occurring.
The sport is offered in a semi-retro fashion — ’90s vibes on trendy tech — and makes good use of fastened digital camera angles to construct rigidity. It has its personal twists on traditional survival-horror gameplay like logic puzzles and sporadic save factors. There’s not a ton in the way in which of fight, and apparently there will likely be choices to dial again the motion additional to concentrate on creepy exploration as an alternative.
Hollowbody is a brand new challenge from Nathan Hamley, who aimed to create a complete sport — story, artwork, code and even music — solo. He raised over $35,000 on Kickstarter on the energy of his earlier sport, Chasing Static, and a fairly compelling trailer and pitch. Fom the Subsequent Fest demo I performed after studying a really constructive writeup on VG247, his singular concentrate on this challenge has kinda labored? Hopefully these backers are glad.
I’m intrigued to see how the total sport pans out — and there’s not too lengthy to attend. It’ll be obtainable on PC (Steam or GOG) on September 12.
