International indie video game publisher HandyGames has released Airhead today, a Metroidvania-style puzzle-platformer set in a beautiful but dangerous world, full of ancient technology. This exploration of loss, decay and hope developed by Octato and Massive Miniteam is available on PC, Amazon Luna, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S priced at $19.99 / €19.99 / £17.49.
Players will take control of Body, a headless being, who finds Head within a cave, right after it is separated from its symbiotic counterpart. Left for dead, Body will take the deflating Head’s life upon their shoulders, bringing players on a journey through this industrial post-apocalypse, refilling Head on air cylinders found along the way to sustain their life. The perilous world holds many secrets and obstacles to overcome, and when the time comes and the impact of their decisions becomes clear Body must decide if they are willing to bear the consequences to save a friend’s life.
Exploring diverse locations such as dark caverns, ancient ruins and abandoned factories, players will discover old technologies to utilize, and a myriad of strange creatures to meet. Players will be tasked with solving puzzles that will challenge their logic and creativity, unlocking upgrades and abilities to get Airhead ever closer to their objective and discover the truth behind Head’s connection to this world.
