<\/p>\n

Forget all about the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake<\/a>, for now at least. Hollowbody <\/strong>is the latest survival horror game on the scene, and when VG247 previously described it as one of our most anticipated horror games<\/a>, we had good reason to do so. Hollowbody is an exceptional experience that pays homage to many cult classics, while forging a unique legacy of its very own.<\/p>\n

Playing as Mica, you are an unlicensed black market shipper in a dystopian British city. And while Mica’s home in Hollowbody’s world looks futuristic, with flying cars and neon hues, it’s the exclusion zone where you’ll be spending most of your time as she strives to find her missing partner, Sasha. As newspaper clippings, posters, and the array of corpses slowly reveal, this exclusion zone was one struck with disaster; a disaster that killed off many civilians and stripped them of their homes, and this disaster was far from natural. In fact, it appears to have been manufactured in a lab, so before you know it, Hollowbody is already providing you with a stark reminder of Resident Evil<\/a>‘s biological terrors.<\/p>\n

This isn’t all that there is to Hollowbody’s story, however. The intricate and provocative world-building available allows you, as Mica, to really sink your teeth into these crumbling apartments and desolate streets, and the stories of the people who once walked them. The discoveries you make and radio signals you tune into are so moving at times that it’s hard not to compare the experiences of these characters to the very real experiences of real people in 2024. Hollowbody may seem dystopian and futuristic, but ultimately, it tells an incredibly pertinent tale.<\/p>\n
