Double Fine Reveals Latest Title, Headlander - News
by Craig S , posted on 28 August 2015 / 2,668 ViewsDeveloper Double Fine and publisher Adult Swim have announced a new title called Headliner.
Headliner is described as a 'retro-futuristic, side-scrolling, 2D Metroidvania' game that is inspired by the science fiction of the 1970s.
"It is a world of automation, a utopia gone wrong in which all of humanity have transferred their minds into robotic imposter bodies and are ruled by a deranged computer.
You are the last known human in the universe, and all that's left of you is a disembodied head. Seeking clues to your fractured past, you must travel through a hostile world of machines, using a special helmet that allows you to dock into and take control of any robotic host body. As you launch from one body to the next, you'll start to discover that things are not quite what they appear to be, and the fate of humanity has yet to be decided."
Headlander will release on 'PC and consoles' next year.
