Airhead is an adventure through a sprawling, interconnected world, where you must explore, evolve, and overcome complex puzzles to succeed. You play as Airhead, a small body as well as a round, swollen organism: Head, which he uses as a head. And as Head slowly but surely deflates, you have a chance to save his life. To do this, you must use air tanks to keep Head inflated while you explore the Metroidvania-style world of Airhead in search of amazing abilities and upgrades that will allow you to unlock new areas and solve puzzles. During your adventure, it will be up to you to discover the true connection between Head, the air tanks, and the technology that litters the world, so that you can save Head at all costs.

EXPLORATION

Finding your way in the world of Airhead isn't always easy. You must brave dark caverns, ancient structures, and other mysterious locations to save Head. Along the way, you'll discover new abilities, new areas, and new puzzles, and if you go even deeper, who knows what you'll find in the hidden corners of the world.

As you explore, you'll encounter numerous puzzles that use the environment, strange creatures, and old technology to test your logic and creativity. The world is complex, nothing is what it seems, and you must master Airhead's many abilities if you want to have any chance of saving Head.

FRIENDSHIP

Airhead and Head must work together to achieve their goal, and over time their bond and abilities will grow. What will you do to preserve their camaraderie? And when the impact of your choices is felt, are you ready to face the consequences of saving a friend?

HISTORY

A symbiotic being, dependent on its own air source, is torn apart by a machine of unknown origin. Incomplete, the head-like organism is left for dead, as it gradually deflates. An unassuming body, with the instinct to help others, witnesses tragedy. Without thinking about the consequences, he takes the fate of his new head on his shoulders, becoming Airhead. Now Airhead must rely on air tanks to keep Head inflated, while she searches everywhere for the machine that stole Head's air source. But this machine is only a small part of a larger whole, and Head may hold a more important place in the grand scheme than Airhead could ever have imagined.
