It is the future. Well, it's what people living in the 1970's thought the future would be like. You wake up on an abandoned spaceship, having just come out of cryosleep. Only problem is, you're just a head stuck in a space helmet. Fortunately the helmet is equipped with rockets allowing you to move around and attach to various robot bodies. Unfortunately the AI known as Methuselah has declared you an aberration and is sending an army of robots called Shepherds after you.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Released in 2016 by Double Fine, Headlander is a Metroidvania style game available for download from Steam.

After the End: The Archives hold a clip of a news report announcing the end of the "Ever-Wars" and the need for remediation of poisoned farmlands. Another clip describes the Impostor robot bodies as capable of withstanding the changing climate. It's strongly hinted that the space station is all that's left of humanity's legacy.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot

comment
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Methuselah is an old AI that went rogue and now runs pretty much everything. On the other hand there's ROOD, the AI in charge of opening doors. He's not evil, but he can be difficult at times. Then there's Electrosux Zed-Four, who is very passionate about keeping things clean. Homicidally so. Towards the end of the game you learn that Earl is really ERL, an AI designed to stop Methuselah from going out of control. Averted in that he really is on your side.

Bullet Hell: A number of enemies have Spread Shot which, if there are enough of them, can completely cover the screen and make it difficult for players to maneuver around. Even more difficult are certain areas with environmental elements that reflect and multiply every laser fired into them in more spreads.

Brain Uploading: In order to live forever the human race has uploaded their minds into robot bodies called Imposters. It is implied that Methuselah was created by several uploaded minds being combined, one of which belonged to the character that the player character is a clone of.
