Dystopian Survival Horror Hollowbody Gets September Release Date

As a seasoned gamer with over three decades of gaming under my belt, I am beyond excited about the upcoming release of Hollowbody by Headware Games! With its dystopian setting and survival horror elements reminiscent of classic games like Silent Hill and Haunting Ground, this game promises to be a thrilling addition to my collection.


I’m thrilled to announce that the game “Hollowbody” by Headware Games finally has a set release date! Mark your calendars for September 12th, as this intriguing title will be available on PC via Steam and GOG. To build up the anticipation, the developer has also unveiled a fresh release date trailer. It offers a sneak peek into the game’s captivating environments, engaging characters, and tantalizing puzzles. Don’t miss out, take a look at the trailer right below:

Hollowbody is a “dystopian love letter to survival horror,” which means it’s deeply appreciative of the genre and pays tribute to its roots in games like Silent Hill, Haunting Ground, and Rule of Rose. This game immerses players into intricately designed settings that blend tech-noir aesthetics. As a black market shipper named Mica, you are on a mission to locate your missing partner after a crash lands your hovercraft. Stranded and desperate, you must find a way not just to escape, but to rescue your partner at any cost.

The story is brought to life with full voice acting, deep world building, and unsettling scenery. The gameplay is reminiscent of the early 2000s titles that defined the survival horror genre, incorporating logic puzzles, resource management, and some combat.  

Hello there!

The game ‘Hollowbody’ was single-handedly created by Nathan Hamley, the developer from Headware Games, who is known for independently releasing the highly-praised ‘Chasing Static’ in the year 2021 as well.

Hamley clarified that to maintain uniformity across the game and due to his meticulous nature, he will personally handle every aspect of its development once more. This includes designing the artwork, scripting the storyline, programming the game, and this time around, composing the game’s soundtrack as well.

Headware Games’ latest survival horror game arrives amidst a period some label as the genre’s resurgence. This revival in survival horror is notably characterized by the triumph of Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 remake, Bloober Team’s update of Silent Hill 2, and other contemporary hits like Crow Country. Enthusiasts can add Hollowbody to their wishlist on Steam at present.
