Solo developer Headware Games is today pleased to announce that a new free content update for its tech-noir survival horror title Hollowbody is now available to download via Steam and GOG. Furthermore, those with the game still on their wishlist can now purchase it with a 10% discount until November 4, as part of Steam Scream Fest 2024.
Titled ‘Restoration’, the new content update is now available for free to all players and should be automatically pushed to their systems via a patch. It adds new optional puzzles, locations and lore to the game that was cut from the initial release of the game.
The new content addresses player feedback, particularly relating to the game’s pacing and narrative beats, and will further contextualise Echo's place in the world, in addition to adding new information about the city's restoration efforts and subsequent downfall.
