About Hollowed

Hollowed tells the story of a woman who will do anything to bring her perished loved one back to the world of the living. The player will control a humanoid character named Halia as well as a spirit named Oco simultaneously on one controller. These two characters are tethered together by a spiritual connection and they must work together to progress through the daunting challenge of bringing Halia's loved one back to the world of the living. While Halia has the ability to jump and move like most platforming character, Oco has the ability to help Halia in her endeavors through four unique abilities. Use these abilities to interact with the environment and Halia in order to progress through platforming puzzles in this 3D side-scrolling adventure.

The mechanics allow for a new way of exploring the side-scrolling genre by asking the player to control two characters simultaneously. Halia's controls take up the left side of the controller while Oco's controls take up the right side of the joystick. It is only through the synchronous collaboration between these two characters that the players will succeed in helping Halia save her loved one.

Features seven original soundtracks, fully rendered stylized 3D environment with hidden secrets for the player to uncover, and a story that explore the deep emotions of grief.

Hollowed is a short puzzle platformer that caught my attention because of the way it handles its main character. I play as Halia, a woman trying to bring her dead loved one back to life, while also controlling her spirit Oco at the same time. Both characters are connected, and I have to use them together to get through the different areas. It is a pretty unusual setup for a platformer, and I think it gives the game enough of its own identity to stand out. The best part for me is controlling Halia and Oco together. Halia handles the normal movement and jumping, while Oco has four different abilities that I use to interact with the environment and help Halia get through obstacles. I like the idea because I am not simply controlling two characters separately. I have to think about what both of them are doing at the same time. Some puzzles make good use of that connection and give me a nice feeling when I finally understand what the game wants me to do. The world is also one of the stronger parts. The game uses fully rendered 3D environments while keeping the gameplay in a side scrolling format, and there are hidden areas and secrets for me to find. The strange fantasy setting fits t…

Игра «Hollowed» — это атмосферный хоррор с неожиданными поворотами. Простая на первый взгляд механика быстро превращается в захватывающий психологический триллер. Сюжет разворачивается в мрачном мире, где каждый шаг наполнен напряжением. Графика и звуковая сцена подчеркивают напряженную атмосферу, а нелинейное повествование держит в напряжении до последнего. Минус — иногда сложная система управления. Но для любителей жанра это отличный выбор.
