The Hollow Man (WIP/DEMO)

Hosted Games Works In Progress

I’ve begun work on my first game The Hollow Man. it’s quite short and actually just need as much feedback as possible, as a result, next update will be huge.

The Hollow Man is a psychological horror-noir where death is only the beginning.

You play as a haunted detective unraveling a supernatural conspiracy beneath the surface of a dying city. Visions of a ruined wasteland, whispers in your head, and a countdown only you can hear: 70 days until something unspeakable crosses over.

Every choice you make feeds the evil. Every misstep fractures your sanity. Every death brings your nightmares closer.

Investigate cursed crime scenes, confront forbidden artifacts, and survive encounters with entities that defy reality. As the darkness closes in, you may not be alone in your descent—play alongside Ezra Quinn, a reclusive sorcerer with his own tragic history… if you manage to stay alive long enough to find him.

Some stories don’t end with death.
Some begin there.

Currently it’s about 4% complete (3 chapters, ~4,000+ words), and I plan on updating every 1–2 weeks with new content, expanded branches, and more. Again, this is a pretty short demo, to help understand the story.

Hope you Enjoy.

To play the demo, go here:

About Tags: gender-choice, horror, supernatural, mature

Ro's (Spoilers)

Kyra Lentz – A sharp-tongued forensic pathologist with a guarded past and a fire that burns under cold steel.
(M/F/NB depending on player gender; slow-burn, tension-filled route)

Celina Vale – A quick-witted bartender with eyes that see more than she lets on. Beneath the charm and liquor-soaked banter, she’s hiding scars the city never healed.
(M/F/NB depending on player gender; flirty, emotionally layered route)

More characters may become available as the story unfolds…

How does it seem though?

I like it so far but 4K words is too short for me to really judge or provide feedback meaningfully.

You definitely should keep going.

I’d like to play more. You have a very fast paced style that draws the reader into the story.

Have to do another playthrough to make sure, but I thought there were a couple of times where the MC had knowledge that had not been acquired during up to that point in the story, such as Ezra’s last name?

Good point, but ezra’s name and information up to where he was last seen was found out by the detective during the search for him, should have shed more light on that. And I think also elijah told the detective his full name too

What does it mean? Only men for femMC? Only women for maleMC? If yes, why?

Ah, i think i see the confusion here.
Actually that’ll only come into effect for later Ro’s. As for the current Ro’s, all genders apply, i just put “(M/F/NB depending on player gender; slow-burn, tension-filled route)” under all the Ro’s
Hope that clears confusion.
