Nathan Hamley, the solo developer behind the new Silent Hill-inspired "tech noir" survival horror game Hollowbody, is elated to see Steaཧm reviews coming in about 300 times faster than their previous game.

After more than three years in development, , and just a few days later, it's racked up more than 400 reviews. That might not seem like a massive number in the context of much bigger releases, but it's a massive jump for Hamley's studio, Headware Games. The studio's most recent release before Hollowbody, the bite-siz🅘ed psychological horror game Chasing Static, took three years to get to 395 and still doesn't have as many reviews as Hollowbody.

"Hollowbody has hit 407 REVIEWS!!!!!!?!? That is absolutely INSANE, thank you thank y𒅌ou ty!!!" Hamley said.

Hollowbody is obviously inspired by early-2000s Resident Evil and Silent Hill games with its glorious fixed camera angles, but it's also very much doing its own thing narratively and visually. You take control of an unlicens🎀ed black marketౠ shipper named Mica who travels to a dangerous exclusion zone in search of his missing partner Sasha. With limited resources at your disposal, you'll want to tread carefully if you mean to save Sasha and exit the exclusion zone with your lives still in-tact.

My fellow horror hound Jasmin𓄧e played the Steam Next Fest demo♏ and said, "in short, it's awesome." I haven't found the time to play the full game yet, but I also fiddled with the demo and had a great old time, so if you're looking for something to tide you over until the Silent Hill 2 Remake, well, that's precisely what Hamley said this game is🤪 for.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on ༺as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever ꦜhorror game I'm too afraid to finish.
