About Wailing Heights
Wailing Heights is a musical adventure game set in a village of monsters. You play as Frances Finklestein, former manager of The Deadbeats, a rock band once considered Britain’s greatest. After being invited to a gig in an unfamiliar town, Frances is arrested for being alive and learns from a mysterious cellmate how to possess other bodies.
The village
Wailing Heights is home to vegan werewolves, hipster vampires, soulful zombies and other supernatural residents who own homes and pay taxes. As Frances searches for a way out of the holding cell and the village, familiar faces and sounds emerge: The Deadbeats have returned as the undead and want to reunite the band.
Possess and explore
You can leave Frances’s body behind and hop between ghosts, vampires, werewolves and zombies. Each creature has different skills and abilities that help you get closer to escaping. You talk to locals, choose what to say and which body to inhabit, collect lyrics, listen for musical clues and take material from other songs.
You add these ingredients to a musical possession wheel, then sing your soul into a monster’s body to gain its supernatural abilities. The game’s adventure gameplay is presented in the style of classic adventure games.
Music and presentation
The game features comic-book-style visuals and cut-scenes, more than 4,000 lines of voice acting, and an original soundtrack spanning indie, pop, soul and country.
