A tech-noir survival horror short story, set in the urban decay of a long abandoned British city.
It's a Shipper's biggest fear. You're grounded in the exclusion zone, twenty miles of death and decay sealed off by the towering, suffocating walls erected after the collapse.
Play as Mica, an unlicensed black market shipper who will stop at nothing to find her missing partner.
Alone, stranded, and with limited resources at your disposal you'll have to push your way through the zone, solve environmental puzzles, manage resources and fight for your life as you try to find a way to escape beyond the wall.

Some story developments may also prove divisive depending on what you're hoping to get from the narrative. However, its strengths ultimately outweigh its weaknesses,...
Hollowbody turns survival horror into a harmless ride: a tribute to the past without its own identity, lacking any sense of danger, and wasting great voice acting on a weak and confusing script.
