ALLAF GAMES has just shipped Blood High!, a boomer shooter where you play as a vampire who has been cursed with a slight anatomical inconvenience - namely, your head being completely detached from your body. Yes, you literally run around carrying your own noggin like it's a bowling ball. Peak gaming.
According to Niche Gamer, your blood-soaked moveset includes vaulting across levels, executing enemies with style, and using your own blood as ammunition. If your HP bar overflows, you don't just get a little heal - you unleash something. Think of it as the vampire equivalent of going Super Saiyan, except you're still holding your detached head the whole time.

The boomer shooter genre has been absolutely popping off lately, with devs cooking up increasingly unhinged concepts to stand out from the crowd. Blood High! earns its place at the table by leaning hard into its gimmick - the head-carrying mechanic isn't just cosmetic, it's baked into how you play.

If you've ever wanted a game where your ammo is literally your own lifeforce and your character is their own biggest accessory, ALLAF GAMES may have just handed you your new main.
