About Hollow
Hollow is a dark fantasy action RPG built around dungeon crawling, loot, character growth, and the slow uncovering of something ancient beneath the earth.
The mining town of Gravesend Hollow has sealed its lower shafts after children vanished and the dead began to stir below. What remains beneath the town is more than a mine. It is an old prison, a forgotten reliquary, and the resting place of something that should never have been found.
Descend through dangerous dungeon levels filled with undead, monsters, corrupted miners, hidden chambers, treasure, and secrets. Fight in real time, collect weapons and armor, identify magical items, improve your build, and push deeper toward the source of the corruption.
Features:
- Old-school action RPG dungeon crawling
- Real-time combat with melee weapons, ranged attacks, spells, and abilities
- Loot-driven progression with weapons, armor, jewelry, magic items, rare items, and uniques
- Character growth through attributes and ability choices
- A dark fantasy world centered on Gravesend Hollow and the sealed mines beneath it
- Town services including healing, shops, repairs, identification, and other survival tools
- Lore fragments and secrets that reveal the history of the world and the angel buried below
Hollow is being developed as a focused single-player ARPG for players who enjoy dark atmosphere, dungeon exploration, loot hunting, and classic RPG progression.
