It's a Shipper's biggest fear. You're grounded in the exclusion zone, twenty miles of death and decay sealed off by the towering, suffocating walls erected after the collapse.
Alone, stranded, and with limited resources at your disposal you'll have to push your way through the zone, solve environmental puzzles, manage resources and fight for your life as you try to find a way to escape beyond the wall.
Play as Mica, an unlicensed black market shipper who will stop at nothing to find her missing partner.
It’s been 12 days since Sasha left.
You talked about it, you argued about it and you even laughed about it. Anybody in their right mind knew going to that place was a death wish, a one-way trip to the end of the line. But Sasha wasn’t one to scare easily, she wanted answers and there was only one place those answers held any truth. Her mind was already made up, you just didn’t expect her to do it without you.
Twelve sleepless nights later and you finally get the call. Tax has found someone, A border security suit looking to make some extra credits on the down-low. He can get you clearance, a two hour window to fly into the zone, find Sasha and get the hell out of there.
You make your way across the exclusion zone but something’s wrong. The nav's running in circles and you're losing altitude. Before you know it a blinding white fills the sky. The dash goes dark and your hover drops out of the air like a lead balloon, slamming into the paved streets below.
You wake to the acrid smell of an electrical fire, rain pounding on the cracked windshield. You're surrounded by the crumbling remains of what were once considered homes.
You need to find a way out. Call for evac, scale the walls. Something. Anything. Survive.

Very cool 7/10
Fun if not a little long. Will make you think of old PS2 horror games, for better and for worse.

Sci-Fi Horror with a social conscience
It seems recently that there has been a whole spate of Horror titles attempting to recreate the glory days of the PS2 generation Silent Hill games. All of which do so with varying success, the closest being perhaps Tormented Souls. Of these aforementioned titles Hollow Body falls somewhere close to the top, thank goodness. Drawing heavily on other such titles like Obscure and mixing it with the deep political depression of the 28 Days Later movie franchise; Hollowbody is a short though thoughtful revision on social decay and economic hardship as it is a thrilling piece of genre gaming. As protagonist Mica wanders through the empty streets and long forgotten locales of an undisclosed Northern English coastal city, one can not help but be reminded of the problems which afflicted much of the world during the Covid epidemic, but also the increasingly militaristic security measures taken to secure Britain's borders prior to that event. Children's playgrounds sit in the shadows of military blockades. Prestine parkland is tainted by the grostery of a mass grave. People's homes lie as dormant tombs to the countless lives lost within the sea of confusion, unethical commerce and red tape. And all the while Mica is guided onward by the tauntings of a phantom provocateur at the end of a phone line (the game's save points) and hollow thought threatening echos of the human stories now long lost among the rubble. As players, we are only given a vague description of how the world came to be in such a mess, and perhaps that lack of knowledge is symbolic of the dislocation and estrangement many people now feel toward their own lives and histories? Who's to say? What can definitely be said is that the game is not without it's flaws. The camera is awkward and janky, as is the melee combat. If you can forgive these aspects however, you are treated to a very timely piece of British storytelling. Verdict - 4/5
