Norway-based developer Perfectly Paranormal today released a developer commentary video to give some comedic insight into some of Helheim Hassle’s body-centric mechanics. From the Headless combo to the Arm & Arm combo, here’s a sneak preview to the many limb combinations in the witty world of Helheim Hassle! Helheim Hassle will launch this year on PC, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One.
Helheim Hassle is a macabre narrative adventure game, from the same universe as previous hit Manual Samuel, that is as much about friendship as it is about body parts. You play as Bjørn, a pacifist viking who hates the idea of dying and going to Valhalla (who then ends up dying and getting taken to Valhalla) as he seeks to negotiate his way out while helping the mysterious Pesto on a quest to retrieve a certain magical item… In return, Pesto will try to grant Bjørn a permanent residence in Helheim – what a hassle!
Players will be tasked with completing up to 70 quests over 14 levels, requiring the use of all manner of different body part combos to complete the game’s unique puzzle platforming challenges. On this adventure, players will come into contact with 80 different characters from all walks of life (and death) ranging from frustrated god souls, bear ghosts, dragons, elves, dwarves and blue-collar goblins; all voiced by 24 professional voice actors delivering 3,700 lines of spoken dialogue!
