About Hollow Cocoon

■What Kind of Game is Hollow Cocoon?


It is a first-person horror adventure game set in 1980s Japan.

Step into the shoes of Minato Jinba, a college student returning to his mother's hometown after receiving news that his grandmother is in critical condition. Hide yourself from the monster and gather vital evidence to unravel the bone-chilling truth lurking beneath the surface!

■The Story


--198X

Minato Jinba, a university student, lives away from his parents in a boarding house in the city.
One night, Minato receives distressing news from his father, Eiji. Minato's maternal grandmother, Kinu Miyama, is in critical condition.
He embarks on a journey to Ichinose, a village deep in the mountains, where his mother was born.

Minato had not seen his grandmother for over a decade and harbors a deep resentment towards her.
She had refused to even attend her own daughter's funeral, further intensifying Minato's disdain.

As the bus rumbles across the country road, Minato recalls his only conversation with his grandmother.

"-- The thing with silkworms, you know; even if they could leave their cocoons, they have no mouths to eat, and their wings do not fly.
They simply lay their eggs and perish."

"People are the reason they suffer this fate."

The sky reddens in the twilight, and the mountains cast an ominous shadow.
Minato finds himself in this house
There, he finds himself in a terrifying situation with a shocking truth.

My second game from this studio after Cineris Somnia, and i loved both. Hollow Cocoon is super tense and unsettling with some creepy moments. It has great visuals and is very Fatal Frame-coded (Crimson Butterfly specifically) with a few funny Silent Hill-inspired moments. it was an awesome horror experience and would love to try more games from Nayuta Studio.

This game is so good. I think it's the perfect Japanese horror game with a very interesting story and spooky setting, reminding me of the Project Zero series with the old Japanese mansion from a wealthy family. The voice acting, visuals and sound design were excellent. The monster that kept chasing you, is pretty scary as she sometimes hid in dark corners without moving and the sound effects didn't always reveal her position. You had to play very slowly in general. There was no chance for me to rush this game because the monster had sharp ears and eyes. Mainly you had so solve some puzzles and find keys, explore the story while being stalked by a creature. If you lost your cool and ran away she would keep following you because of the footsteps so yeah, you had to take your time and plan every move. Also, the game has four endings and it was huge fun to see them all. The new game plus run was excellent and never got boring. I got all the achievements except for nightmare mode, it was too nerve wrecking with the monster being even faster and killing you with one hit. Other than that I got 12 hours of fun out of this game. When you are less of a coward, you can probably …

игра очен прикольная, но в большинстве моментов, то что монстр просто ходит вокруг тех мест, где лежат сюжетные шмотки, меня это очень выбешивает!! ну а так играть рекомендую на легкой сложности, потому что монстр не так будет часто бегать за вами, и чтоб сосредоточиться на изучении сюжета и собирании лута и музыки ииии атмосферу словить и тдтп. а еще по сравнению с их предыдущей игрой, эта не искусственно затягивается меня это сильно радует ЛАЙКлАЙК!👍👍👍

A really good short survival horror game, with a strong narrative. It keeps you on your toes while also giving you some moments of respite to enjoy the puzzles. Definitely worth the money.
