From the same universe (and set on the same Tuesday in fact) as previous hit Manual Samuel, comes this macabre adventure where 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. When Bjørn is resurrected to assist with a task for the mysterious Pesto, he sees a way to negotiate his way out. Using Bjørn’s undying corpse with its ability to detach and combine limbs at will, players must solve challenging puzzles and navigate tricky levels in order 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.”

Helheim Hassle is coming to Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC (Steam) on August 18, 2020, with a PS4 version coming a little later.
