Hollowbody reveals us that, even when we’ve flying automobiles and fancy futuristic tech, there are nonetheless loads of unsettling issues awaiting us on the periphery of ‘civilization’.
Mica can get you all types of issues on the down-low. Sadly for her and her (now lacking) associate, that additionally means they tackle dangerous jobs. A type of duties left Mica’s associate lacking within the exclusion zone, a spot crammed with disturbed beings that lies exterior the shining metal partitions of the futuristic world they dwell in. Mica will get an opportunity to go in and search for her associate, however when her flying automotive breaks down, she’ll want to search out some approach to escape.
This sport positively takes inspiration from traditional horror like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, seeing you accumulating instruments and weapons as you information Mica via winding streets crammed with all types of weird beasts. Having restricted instruments and plenty of enemies coming for you makes for some tense escapes as you search for your good friend and a means out.
Whereas this all sounds actually acquainted, one thing concerning the futuristic backdrop for the setting offers it this neat twist that I don’t see in lots of horror video games. There’s such a separation between the futuristic world and this decayed one that you just actually really feel this sense of descending right into a hellish place that feels far exterior of, but so near, your individual. Whereas we could regularly provide you with new know-how to make lives simpler, we’re all nonetheless greater than able to walling off struggling and ignoring it.
Hollowbody is a superb throwback to my favourite period in online game horror that additionally has some attention-grabbing issues to say about how our know-how and modernity haven’t modified the methods wherein we regularly bury issues relatively than repair them.
Hollowbody shall be made accessible as we speak on GOG and Steam.
