<p>Hollowbody was one of the standouts from Steam Next Fest earlier this year, and it’s coming out real soon.</p>
<p>At a time when everyone is extremely nervous about the <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/silent-hill-2-remake-hits-ps5-and-pc-on-october-8-230731258.html">upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake[/url], Hollowbody feels like a total throwback to that PlayStation era of survival horror. Set in a near-future dystopia, you play as a black market runner who crashes their flying car into a grim UK housing estate full of weird things going on.</p>
<span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>The game is presented in a semi-retro style — ’90s vibes on modern tech — and makes smart use of fixed camera angles to build tension. It has its own twists on classic survival-horror gameplay like logic puzzles and sporadic save points. There’s not a ton in the way of combat, and apparently there will be options to dial back the action further to focus on creepy exploration instead.</p>
<p>Hollowbody is a new project from Nathan Hamley, who aimed to create an entire game — story, art, code and even music — solo. He <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/headwaregames/hollowbody">raised over $35,000 on Kickstarter[/url] on the strength of his previous game, Chasing Static,&nbsp;and a pretty compelling trailer and pitch. Fom the Next Fest demo I played after reading <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://www.vg247.com/forget-silent-hill-2-remake-play-hollowbody-steam-next-fest-demo">a very positive writeup on VG247[/url], his singular focus on this project has kinda worked? Hopefully those backers are happy.</p>
<p>I’m intrigued to see how the full game pans out — and there’s not too long to wait. It’ll be available on PC (<a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://strangesignals-co-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2aCZ-8H9R-4M12Kfo8azmTkYOoncCCexXWL9iDiSBefzTz9RSkQGPtnAfZPL72yK4ORiNcpHt2C7oxnwpKS0fCI0WBJOgFjbe00DX4ozjoWSKjJZStg6N59J9tiYSxryPenxgvjbJ_cHGVZK6I1DP4pgU-HgetaO4j9eXJcRjLUlJq_a7xyX_CNeRMB2MobypozoyYkATu-HEW4uItnHs5A55__;!!Op6eflyXZCqGR5I!FNvhu1nsUrcrxqc_d7dveLWFejld85XnBk3a3veLNN964_pl823w-oAQzpjXZ9foviZZTFWYyw8l5BldFmg$">Steam[/url] or <a data-i13n="cpos:5;pos:1" href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://strangesignals-co-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2doucm0mKvSaXsrL03cgsDdsK9cLNDwZ3xwUETvgRw_XVz9RSkQEmCp0i-bZjQa6NXYG2E4FGE6P12eE8JXs6mJLniMnD8U_Ka2eJ8jxPGTNhbyqOoWV-iuwqLd06M9S6Y4vVFGKyHB2YbQSWzslum7-ExHCBoRHqGx6wBpO9OU9hR2IW4csHdOW50MxEexeJEy3f__;!!Op6eflyXZCqGR5I!FNvhu1nsUrcrxqc_d7dveLWFejld85XnBk3a3veLNN964_pl823w-oAQzpjXZ9foviZZTFWYyw8lLggoo9Y$">GOG[/url]) on September 12.</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/pc/throwback-survival-horror-game-hollowbody-is-coming-on-september-12-140029101.html?src=rss
