Out of Skull is a 2D puzzle action game featuring a skeleton protagonist attempting to escape the underworld to reunite with a loved one. Showcased by Inonaka Games at the DREAMSCAPE #5 event on October 24, 2026, the title has previously achieved high rankings in competitions like the Game Creators Koshien.
The core mechanic involves detaching the skeleton's head and throwing it to possess different bodies. Players can use their abandoned torsos as weights to trigger switches, with the game offering a variety of creative applications for this mechanic. The controls are described as smooth and responsive.
The design includes helpful features such as trajectory indicators and slow-motion aiming to assist players. Planner Shikigaeru noted that the game was heavily influenced by ElecHead, though it distinguishes itself through its specific focus on skeleton-based body swapping. While the game is designed to be intuitive, players may occasionally need to account for object physics or reconsider their assumptions to solve puzzles.
Developed by a student team that continues to work together as professionals, the project has evolved from single-screen puzzles to a scrolling format. The developers are currently refining the game's tempo and retry systems as they work toward a full release. The final product aims to balance accessible core progression with challenging collection-based content.
