Headspun is a 2D narrative adventure set in Cortex; the world of Theo Kavinsky's broken brain. Taking advantage of live-action FMV sequences, the staff of Cortex watch Theo's life unfold from the eyeScreen behind his eyes, making decisions on his behalf and running the day-to-day cognitive operations which define Theo as a person.
After Theo is involved in a life-threatening car accident, Cortex quite literally falls apart, and Theo's life takes a dark turn. With Cortex in ruins - the parietal lobe damaged - what made Theo 'Theo' is no longer obvious.
Playing as Ted, the rational, human personification of Theo's character, players will begin a journey to rebuild Cortex and put Theo's life back together. What Ted thinks is best for Theo, however, isn't necessarily a view shared by Teddy - the primal, emotional representation of Theo's psyche. Headspun is game that follows the relationship between Ted and Teddy; an ongoing war between logic and emotion.
