About This Game

Hollowbound is a co-op puzzle adventure for exactly two players. A knight and a princess wake up in the dungeons beneath a dark castle – separated, trapped and bound to each other. Neither of you gets out alone.

Every puzzle in Hollowbound is split between two players. One of you finds the clue – a scribbled note, a symbol on the wall, a glowing rune – while the other stands at the lever, the valve or the pressure plate. Describe what you see, talk it through and trust each other. Only together does it all click.

• Levers & Valves – crack lever codes and turn the right valves before the water rises.

• Rune Puzzles – turn the symbol wheels until the pattern matches.

• Pressure Plates – one of you holds the gate open, the other one runs.

• Potion Brewing – gather ingredients, mix them and brew the right potion in the alchemist's lab.

• Push, Jump, Ride – shove crystal blocks, leap across crumbling pillars above the lava and ride minecarts into the depths.

Descend through handcrafted worlds full of atmosphere: a prison slowly filling with water, glowing lava halls, an overgrown garden hiding a potion lab, shimmering crystal caverns – and a mine that collapses beneath your feet while you run for your lives.

• Co-op for exactly 2 players – online via Steam lobby, invite or join code

• Built-in voice chat to call out solutions in real time

• Asymmetric puzzles: one sees, one acts – no puzzle can be solved alone

• Handcrafted levels with a dark fairy-tale look

• Tense escape sequences and a collapsing finale

• Fully playable in English and German (text and subtitles)
