The House In The Hollow offers players an immersive, first person, playing experience.
The game combines the power of the Unreal Engine, with player exploration, in order to unravel the mystery of what happened to the reclusive english magician and occultist, Francis Barrett.
Can you solve the mystery and escape the hollow?
** Story **
Francis Barrett was an English magician and occultist who led a reclusive life, spending most of his time in an isolated manor house.
Nestled in a hollow and surrounded by a dense forest, the house was hidden from the world.
Little is known about Francis Barrett beyond his authorship of The Magus, a Celestial intelligencer and compendium of occult and magical information.
Over the many years since Francis Barrett disappeared, people have attempted, without success, to find the mysterious house and discover what happened to Mr. Barrett.
No one can be sure what experiments Francis Barret performed, or what was conjured up, in that house.
Some who have gone searching for the house have never returned.
LOST ‘MAGUS’ OCCULT COMPENDIUM MANUSCRIPT In 1890 Francis Barrett created and authored the “MAGUS”, a compendium of occult magic. Shortly after the book’s publication he vanished from public life. Somewhere in Breabrook forest is the lost Barrett Estate & Manor House, where the original manuscript lies hidden.
We have been having fun creating the statues for the crypt in the game.
Hidden in the forest in a dark and long abandoned crypt, worshippers of Zuriel prayed to statues in honour of the demon lord.
Performing rituals and supplicating to this demon the worshippers risked their very souls, but to escape the Hollow you will need to uncover the true purpose of the crypt and the strange symbols it contains.
Hope you’re doing well!
At the beginning of your game trailer, I was pretty awe-struck by how beautiful and dreamy the environment was. Then, the video continued and the creepy music set in, the mansion seemed shrouded in mystery and darkness, and every shadow seemed a bit to menacing.
I absolutely love it. You’ve created a beautifully dark and creepy setting and despite my cowardice with spooky games, I found myself eager to explore your world.
Will definitely be adding this to my steam wishlist. Can’t wait for more updates and a release date.
@Psine, I hope you’re having a fantastic Monday. The gameplay for "The House In The Hollow looks lovely! Will you be releasing a demo level before its release in mid-2023?
