Indie developer Perfectly Paranormal has officially announced the release date for their highly anticipated body-puzzle platformer, Helheim Hassle, on the Nintendo Switch.
The quirky adventure will be available worldwide via the Nintendo eShop beginning August 18, 2020, adding another unique title to the growing library of inventive indie games on the platform. Helheim Hassle marks Perfectly Paranormal's return to the universe first introduced in their cult favorite, Manual Samuel.
Known for their distinctive humor and offbeat gameplay mechanics, the Norwegian studio is once again embracing the unusual, delivering a macabre and comedic experience that's "as much about friendship as it is about body parts." In Helheim Hassle, players control Bjørn, a reluctant Viking who harbors no desire for glory in the afterlife.
After his untimely demise and subsequent journey to Valhalla, Bjørn finds an unexpected opportunity: he is resurrected by a mysterious character named Pesto, who asks for his assistance in exchange for permanent residency in Helheim.
Bjørn's adventure quickly becomes a puzzle-driven quest as he uses his supernatural ability to detach and recombine his own limbs to overcome a wide range of challenges. Project leader Ozan of Perfectly Paranormal expressed the team's excitement, stating that they are thrilled to finally announce the release date for Helheim Hassle.
Ozan also acknowledged the unusual circumstances of the development year, noting that oddness has become the studio's specialty.
He added that the team hopes players will enjoy the game's zany mechanics and characters, and that it brings much-needed light-hearted entertainment when it launches on August 18th. Helheim Hassle expands the creative ambitions displayed in Manual Samuel, offering Nintendo Switch players a fresh twist on the puzzle-platformer genre.
The game invites players to experiment with Bjørn's detachable limbs to solve complex puzzles, navigate treacherous environments, and interact with a uniquely absurd cast of characters—all underscored by Perfectly Paranormal’s signature humor. Perfectly Paranormal's previous work has garnered praise for its originality, and Helheim Hassle is poised to continue that trend for fans of inventive indie games.
It stands out as one of the notable new releases for the Nintendo Switch eShop, reinforcing the console's reputation as a thriving home for distinctive indie titles.
