I'm getting convinced that a lot of videogame designers have to be into NBM and related stuff. Beside The Wolf Among Us and SOMA which are already kinda in your face with this subject matter, there are at least 2 which could be considered official games for the NBM/Headswap community.

One is Headlander [GOG link]. Your player character is the last human alive - or rather, last human head alive. You can place your head on various robots and machinery and control them that way. I've not played this so that's all I know except that it's by Double Fine (of the Grim Fandango or Psychonauts fame).

The other one:

The premise: an American cheerleader from a family of zombie hunters um, fights zombies using her pink chainsaw.

With a setup like this, you really don't need to worry about having the story spoiled.

Okay but this is the important part: Juliet's (that's the main character) boyfriend gets bitten by a zombie and to save him, she kinda sorta cuts of his head and keeps it alive using magic. He's a bit miffled about it...




Either way, she just hangs him on her belt so he gets his face in her butt as he bounes around and they go zombie hunting.



You can encounter a headless zombie and use it as a temporary vessel:


And yes, there is a girl version as well.

Juliet seems to be REALLY into the whole headless boyfriend thing:


And so are her sisters. Watch this exchange with Cordelia: whoever wrote this had obviously a lor of fun with it.






The other sister is even more excited about this:










Back to Juliet:



Hey did I mention she's a cheerleader and it's a zombie game? What do you do with zombies?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway the game is just as dumb as it seems, about 1/10 as funny as it seems and despite being like 8 hours long, still drags on with its repetitiveness. The soundtrack is cool and there are some good bits but overall, don't bother. SUDA51 hit me up if you need better weird ideas for your games. But we still appreciate the official NBM game
