Copenhagen, Denmark / Giebelstadt, Germany, March 31st, 2020: Wallet, keys, phone… Head? If you’ve ever felt like you’ve run out of the house without your head on, then this is the game for you. Join your protagonist Body and his organism friend Head and embark on a journey through a Metroidvania-style world!
Start your adventure as Body, who witnesses the tragic separation of Head and his air-pumping heart by an unknown machine. As the heart is taken away, Body jumps into action to save the abandoned Head. You must use the air tanks scattered around the world to keep Head inflated and uncover the true connection behind the stolen heart and the technology that litters your dystopian world. Wrap your head around unique mechanics and experience brave exciting gameplay, all while collecting sweet upgrades!
