About This Game



Cortex is in ruins.

After waking from a five week coma, Theo Kavinsky finds his life in disrepair, and with no memory of the accident, it’s up to Ted and Teddy – the conscious and subconscious voices in his head – to work out what happened, and put his life back on track.

Headspun is an FMV/Adventure hybrid which puts you in the shoes of Ted: the Director of Cortex - the rational, intelligent voice in Theo's head. What Ted thinks is best for Theo isn't necessarily a view shared by Teddy, however; the primal, emotional subconscious voice...

In the process of repairing Cortex, re-hiring a team and finding out what happened the night of the accident, Ted and Teddy must cast aside their differences and learn to work together. Headspun is a game about recovery, discovery, and the ongoing battle between logic and emotion.



  • Rich FMV story-telling
  • Branching dialogue - sway the outcome of your interactions
  • Rebuild Cortex - earn Neuros to hire staff and commission renovations
  • Retreive Lost Memories and work out what happened the night of Theo's accident
  • Original Synthwave Score from Soho Loop

The concept's interesting and the story really seems like it's going somewhere good, but the game itself is buggy as F_U_C_K. Don't buy unless they bring out patches/bug fixes.

Would not recommend. I knew the game would have some bugs going into it but the story sounded interesting. Unfortunately the the bugs were too much. Very unpolished. 2/10

The concept of this game is amazing, but the the bugs make it unplayable. I have 8.9 hours in the game. I must have started the game 4 or 5 times over the course of a couple years. Every time, I tried to avoid the bugs. And I failed. I want to play this so badly. I'm considering watching a YouTube let's play of this instead of playing it. It looks like someone made it to the end of the game somehow.

I really want to love this game, but it is not easy at the moment. Plenty of bugs make it hard to play the game. The first fix has bin dropped a day after release and made the videos play, but there is a lot of things, still. If you want to give it a shot, use an controller - mouse does not work and you run into gamebreaking bugs if you do. I recoment the game to the extend of waiting for an later time and you will enjoy it for sure. The acters are great, the story is creative and the gameplay is fun. I like the art-style and the sounds and music fit the scenario. If it wouldn't be for the bugs - I would have had fun 4/10 Edit: My Review was written on 1st or 2nd of September 2019. I notice that the Comunity Manager did reply to this and to be fair - that is the job of the Comunity-Manager. Sadly for this Review, I am not going to change my mind over it, just cause to the latest updates, since the game holds almost zero value of being played again. That said, I allready played t...

yes, it has numerous of bugs and errors even for even the basic actions. I've noticed that if I was using K&M controls and then changed to controller or vice-versa some things would just stop working

Although I am ultimately reccommending this game, it should be known that IT HAS A LOT OF BUGS THAT CAN CAUSE YOU TO HAVE TO BACKTRACK. Sometimes upon opening and closing the tablet Ted will refuse to move. Sometimes the 'leave' option does not appear. Sometimes purchasing R&D projects freezes Ted in place. Usually saving and quitting fixes this but sometimes that isn't an option, and sometimes even after saving and restarting the game will jump around and teleport you somewhere. It's very confusing trying to figure out how much the game saved beforehand and the tablet isn't much help. Hopefully future updates will iron out these issues. These criticisms aside, the game was a lot of fun. The story is relatable and full of heartache. The characters are interesting and I wish I'd had more time to get to know the staff. The game isn't very clear with how fast or slow time is progressing (you start around the beginning of January and end around the beginning of February). Also: It might...

Well, I did enjoy the first three and a half hours of this game... until I got into a gamebreaking bug where I can not advance no matter what I do. And the fact that there is only one save means you would have to restart the game all the way over again and hope you don't run into the same bug and.... yeah. Just not worth it at this point. Oh well. C'est la vie.

I'm enjoying this game, it's a really interesting concept! I've not seen a game that uses FMV in this way. It is cultishly retro, that for me is it's quirky charm and it should be judged on that basis. There are one or two bugs but it's a hell of a story. Thumbs up on the whole! Worth seeing through for the story reveals. Glad it's in my library. + music + story - some awkward ui - bit buggy

Great game, light mix of management, point and click, and fmv adventure. I hope they make another game like this and refine it more, but good god! The bugs in this game are insane! I know they fixed a lot of them but there w ere just points when I couldn't progress and had to restart the game just to move forward in the game. Definitely fun, buy it on a sale. Definitely worth it at 8 bux or less :)

Really great storytelling, but even now there still exists so many bugs in the game that haven't been fixed. Thankfully none of them stop you from progressing, but it can still break the game in some silly ways. I don;t regret buying and spending my time with the game, but I do hope that one day the developers manage to fix all of the bugs in the game, and if they ever decide to make a new game then to do some proper testing before a official release as it looks insanely amateurish.
