In a world where people can lose their heads—literally—players assume the role of a cynical detective who wakes up in a crooked pawn shop with a disembodied head in their hands and no memory of how they got there. As the detective, players must navigate comical yet dangerous interactions with various eccentric characters to piece together the mystery of the missing body, all while juggling their own existential crisis. The game is richly text-based, allowing players to choose dialogue options and make decisions that influence the story and character relationships. Each lead points to bizarre side quests, including bizarre head-hunting competitions and confrontations with an underground cult of headless wanderers, leading to an unexpected and twisted conclusion.
