Henry Halfhead

Henry Halfhead is an arcade puzzle game, in which we play as a hero able to control various objects. It was developed by a Swiss indie studio Lululu Entertainment.

Plot

The main protagonist of Henry Halfhead is the titular Henry, a character consisting of half of his own head. Dissatisfied with his current life, constantly working, Henry decides to change things and rediscover the joy of living. Our task is to help him achieve this goal. Throughout the game we learn more about Henry and his surroundings thanks to the narrator, who often makes humorous remarks about the protagonist.

Mechanics

Henry Halfhead is a third-person game (TPP). The game is set inside a large house. We play as Henry, who can control over 150 objects; these include inanimate items, such as beds, pillows, paper planes, knives and fruit, such as apples. Each object has unique properties and abilities we must discover and use to solve the puzzles standing in our way. For example, a knife can cut bread, while a watering can can water wilting flowers.

Each room has an open, sandbox-like structure with many ways to deal with encountered problems. As we progress through the game we unlock new rooms, new objects to control and new puzzles to solve. There are also numerous unlockable minigames and hats Henry can wear to cover his baldness.
