If you’ve ever thought of taking Blade Runner in a more horror-themed direction, Headware Games has just the thing for you. Coming in 2024 is Hollowbody, a "tech-noir survival horror short story" that recently revealed its gameplay in a new video.

Per RelyOnHorror, the five-minute video delves into the world of Hollowbody while giving us a taste of some of the game's narrative-focused gameplay, with a snippet of combat for dessert.

The story for Hollowbody centres on Mica, an unlicensed Shipper working for a ring of black market freelancers. Mica finds herself stranded in a long abandoned British city in the exclusion zone, described as "twenty miles of death and decay sealed off by the towering, suffocating walls erected after the collapse." With limited resources at your disposal, you’ll have to push your way through the zone while solving puzzles, managing resources and fighting for your life as you try to find a way to escape beyond the wall.

With an emphasis on world-building, Hollowbody will feature classic early 2000s survival horror gameplay, with a blend of cinematic and fixed camera angles. Luckily, there will be "carefully placed save points" to make sure that tension is maintained while also minimizing frustration. There will also be multiple endings for you to discover, as well as New Game+ features.

Currently, you can wishlist the game on Steam.

Ahead of developer Refugium Games and publisher Perp Games’ The Greyhill Incident landing on PC this Friday, the teams have released one final teaser for fence-sitters, and for those who can't wait to fend off an alien invasion. Console owners will have to wait a little bit longer, but judging from Harrison's preview a few weeks back, it’ll be worth it.

Inspired by ‘true incidents’, books, TV shows & films from Fire in The Sky to "The X-Files", Communion and more, The Greyhill Incident is a story-driven Survival Horror game that takes place during the early 90s in the town of Greyhill. You are Ryan Baker, and there's an alien invasion underway. It's up to you and your neighbours to work together to fend off the aliens from abducting everyone. That involves boarding up houses, establishing a neighbourhood watch, and using stealth tactics to navigate the town and avoid detection.

The Greyhill Incident will be available on PC via Steam on June 9, while PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series owners will get their hands on the game on June 13th. There will also be a physical Abducted Edition released on June 23rd for the PS5 that you can order from Perp Games’ website. On top of that, there's also the Abducted Collectors Edition that includes the game itself, a guide to creating a tinfoil hat, a newspaper clipping that details the first alien invasion, as well as the game's digital soundtrack.
