Body desecrating puzzle-platformer Helheim Hassle launches August 18th
A Norse tale that will take you to hell and back from the makers of Manual Samuel
Hamar, Norway - June 12th 2020 - Norway-based developer Perfectly Paranormal is pleased to announce that their new body desecration puzzle-platformer Helheim Hassle is coming to Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC via Steam on Tuesday, August 18th; with a PlayStation 4 version coming a little later.
Helheim Hassle is a comedic yet 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!
"We are so excited to finally be able to reveal the release date for Helheim Hassle," said Ozan, Project Leader from Perfectly Paranormal. "This has been a very odd year for us and the rest of the world, but hey I guess oddness is our speciality! We hope our wacky game with its body desecrating mechanics and crazy characters brings some light-hearted fun to players on August 18th."
