About This Game

Representing the final human in existence, you exist solely as a severed head.

As you leap between hosts, the truth begins to unravel, revealing that reality is deceptive and the future of mankind hangs in the balance...

Headlander is a retro-futuristic, side-scrolling action-adventure title from Double Fine Productions, drawing heavy inspiration from 1970s science fiction. The narrative takes place in a flawed automated utopia where people have migrated their consciousness into artificial androids under the command of a crazy AI. Developed by Double Fine Productions (creators of Psychonauts and Broken Age) alongside Adult Swim Games (publishers of Duck Game and Jazzpunk), Headlander promises to deliver an unparalleled cerebral journey.
