That’s using your noggin
Double Fine Productions rarely retreads ground with its games, so it comes as no surprise that its next big title is not Psychonauts 2 (like it should be) but is instead a 2D adventure about a disembodied head who can attach to and control various robot bodies. When he’s not attached to a body, the protagonist head flies around with rockets where his neck would be. Yep, that’s the familiar weirdness we’ve come to expect from Tim Schafer’s studio.
In a way, what’s shown in the trailer almost reminds me of Stacking, in that the main character can take on different identities and abilities by latching himself onto different bodies. Past that it doesn’t look too much like the earlier Double Fine title, with its 1970s-era laser-heavy visuals.
IGN has a brief preview written up about it. Otherwise, check out the trailer below. No platforms have been announced for Headlander yet.
