Om detta spel

The Last Normal Day.

Hollow Home is a narrative survival RPG set in a city under occupation. You are Maksym - 14 years old, alone and trying to survive. His father is already at the front. His mother is away, unreachable.

Maksym's journey begins on the last normal day he will remember, 24 hours before the invasion. The city is still whole. When he wakes up the next morning, everything has changed.

A City That Disappears Around You

Three districts to explore, each changing a little more with each passing day. Buildings are shelled. Streets are cut off. Those you met on day one may not be there on day three.

Every Conversation Carries Weight

Deep dialogue, branching questlines, and relationships built under pressure. With limited action points each day, you cannot be everywhere. You cannot help everyone. With no other option, you'll make choices and learn to live with the consequences.

Learn to Survive Through the People You Meet

Maksym learns the skills and abilities he needs to survive by interacting with those around him - through conversations and quest completion. Cooking. Crafting. Scavenging. First aid. What you choose to learn one day may save someone days later.

A Story Built from Real Events

In Hollow Home, there are no weapons, no battles, no combat. Instead, Maksym faces impossible choices and challenges no teenager should face. The weight of a life dismantled, the impact of war on those living in it and the moral cost of every small choice.

Hollow Home is drawn from real lived experience. Developed by Ukraine-based studio Twigames, the game draws on specific real events from the russian invasion of Ukraine. The characters are fictional. The city and what happens to it are not.

Beskrivning av vuxet innehåll

Utvecklarna beskriver innehållet så här:

The game itself does not have realistic on-screen violence. But its main topic is a war. So it can be mature for some people.
