Hollowing

Hollowing is a first-person, pixel-style psychological horror game about an international student living alone in a foreign country. You attend classes on campus during the day and return to a dim, quiet apartment at night, repeating the same routine as time blurs and reality begins to overlap with illusion.

Explore the apartment and campus

You walk through the environments, observe your surroundings and interact with objects to uncover story clues and the character’s inner world. The plot advances day by day as the character’s psychological state deteriorates. Shadows gather outside the window and whispers grow clearer, leaving you to question whether a monster is approaching or the character’s mind is collapsing.

Anxiety and isolation

The story draws on the loneliness and cultural barriers experienced by international students. Hollowing has no combat system; it focuses on psychological pressure and environmental storytelling as it explores anxiety, loneliness and a breakdown in self-awareness. You must uncover whether the threat is real or a projection of the character’s inner self.
