Description

Meet Henry, merely half a head but with the peculiar ability to possess and control any object within their reach. Discover every object's unique properties and abilities and cleverly combine them to progress through Henry's not-so-ordinary everyday life.

History

In a module during their Game Design studies, the members of Lululu were tasked to create a character with superpowers and a disadvantage. The result: A cute little character that is only half-a-head, but has the ability to transform into objects and goes by the name Henry!

After graduating, part of the team finished and released “Bamerang” on PC and Switch. In 2021, Lululu continued working on Henry Halfhead, redefining the concept, visual design and gameplay. Since then, the game has been supported by multiple cultural grants and is part of a mentorship program at the Swiss Game Hub.

Henry Halfhead is currently in production and we're excited to share more about it in the future!

  • What’s the ultimate video game fantasy? I’m guessing playing as a bald half-head that’s been separated from every body part is pretty low on the list, but after seeing the trailer for Henry Halfhead, you’ll probably change your mind.
