Hollowbody exhibits us that, even when we now have flying vehicles 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 kind of duties left Mica’s associate lacking within the exclusion zone, a spot stuffed 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 automobile breaks down, she’ll want to search out some solution to escape.
This recreation undoubtedly takes inspiration from traditional horror like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, seeing you accumulating instruments and weapons as you information Mica by way of winding streets stuffed 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 manner 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 may be such a separation between the futuristic world and this decayed one that you simply 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 frequently give you new know-how to make lives simpler, we’re all nonetheless greater than able to walling off struggling and ignoring it.
Hollowbody is a good 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 during which we regularly bury issues quite than repair them.
Hollowbody can be made accessible in the present day on GOG and Steam.
