Hollowbody is an English cyberpunk Silent Hill, for better and worse | Gaming

Charles Fort came up with the concept of “steam engine time” to explain how multiple inventors seem to have thought of the steam engine simultaneously yet separately. It was just an idea whose time had come. Well, right now it’s Silent Hill time, baby. It’s retro survival horror with a psychological edge o-fucking-clock.

Hollowbody is the latest survival horror game with fixed camera placement, wilfully clunky combat, surreal puzzles, and a pocket flashlight. It’s even got a creepy radio, a gratuitous Sonic Youth reference, and mysterious phone calls—which double as your save points complete with that Silent Hill fade-to-red.
