The briefing

About this game

In Headache, Ned is trapped inside the human head and must monitor nerve centers for ready impulses. He carries impulses to the brain, or transports brain-originating impulses to the neck.

As Ned moves through the head, he must avoid or atomize the disguised throbs that spill down from the brain. He must also stop Head Banger as it travels from the neck toward the brain. Survive long enough and Ned can return to a clear head.
