Wailing Heights Launching April 27th - With Cover Song Contest
[ 2016-04-19 21:22:13 CET ] [ Original post ]
Wailing Heights, our body-hopping, musical adventure game is singing it’s way to Steam on April 27th 2016.
Since the game features original songs and puzzle-based lyrics from folk-singing werewolves, 60s Rock and Roll Monsters bands, hipster Vampires and soulful zombies, to celebrate the launch, we're holding a cover-song contest.
To enter, post a Youtube video of you performing a cover-version of a song from the game, post it on our Wailing Heights Steam Community Hub, or tweet your link to @Outsidergames, before Friday 20th May, and our favourite will win a £100 Steam Voucher.
With the songs in the game ranging from pop-tastic professional tunes, to ridiculous werewolf limericks in the Full Moon Club, you don’t even have to be a brilliant singer to take part! It’s our favourite that wins!
To get you started here are the lyrics to ‘Here Come the Deadbeats’, and you can hear the full track performed over our Wailing Heights Trailer on the game page.
We are the Deadbeats
Verse
You’ll hear us coming,
In the dark of night,
If you catch a sight of us,
You may die of a fright
Chorus
We are the Deadbeats,
Should be resting 6 foot in the ground,
But we’re here to play our music,
We can’t stop sharing our sound
Verse
Get ready for adventure,
We’d love to sing for you,
And if you let us bite you,
You can be a Deadbeat too!
Repeat Chorus and Verse 2
We are the Deadbeats!

A coffin-rocking, body-hopping, musical adventure game, set in a horrific hamlet of monsters.
Set in a peaceful, blood-curdling village blessed with gorgeous panoramic mountaintop views and the blissful stench of rotting corpses, Wailing Heights is home to the likes of vegan werewolves, hipster vampires, soulful zombies and all manner of well-adjusted supernatural taxpaying home-owners.
Meet Frances Finklestein, the one-time manager of the all-time greatest rock band that Great Britain ever produced: The Deadbeats.
After being invited to a gig in a town no one's ever heard of, Frances Finklestein is trapped in a holding cell, charged with the crime of... Being Alive! A mysterious cellmate teaches you the power of possession. You learn to “body-hop”, leaving your corpse in the holding cell and jumping from ghost to vampire to werewolf to zombie. Each creature’s skills and abilities bring you one step closer to getting your body out of lock-up and getting the hell out of Wailing Heights. But of course, it’s never that easy…
As you jump from one musical monster to another, familiar sounds and faces start up show up. The Deadbeats have returned as the undead, and they want to get the band back together.
In the style of classic adventure games, you will need to talk to the locals, choosing just the right thing to say (and who to be), collect lyrics as you explore the town, listen to musical clues, and like all great songwriters; steal things from other songs. Add these ingredients to your musical possession wheel, and sing your soul right into a monsters' body, gaining their supernatural abilities and moving one step closer to escaping Wailing Heights.
