A coffin-rocking, body-hopping, musical adventure game, set in with a horrific hamlet of monsters, with a story by Kevin Beimers (Hector, Schrödinger’s Cat) and glorious 2D artwork from a host of illustrious comic book talent.
Set in a peaceful, blood-curdling village blessed with gorgeous panoramic mountaintop views and the blissful stench of rotting corpses, Wailing Heights is home to the likes of vegan werewolves, hipster vampires, gossiping ghosts and all manner of well-adjusted supernatural taxpaying homeowners.
When Frances Finklestein, former manager of the greatest 60s rock and roll band the world has ever loved and lost, finds himself in Wailing Heights’ prison after a booking mix-up, a mysterious cellmate offers him a way out… sort of. Through the power of song, Finklestein learns how to “body–hop”, leaving his corpse behind in the holding cell and jumping from ghost to vampire to werewolf to zombie. Each creature’s skills and abilities give
him access to places no human should ever set foot, while bringing him one step closer to getting his own body out of lockup and getting the hell out of the Heights. But of course, it’s never that easy…
Outsider Games will be showcasing the game, with a playable demo, at EGX.
Wailing Heights is due for release on PC early 2016. For more information, screenshots and production blog, visit www.wailingheights.com
