Hollowed

About

Hollowed is a puzzle platformer where you manage two characters at once. As Halia and her companion Oco, you navigate side-scrolling levels by splitting your focus between their actions. One might solve a puzzle while the other dodges hazards, requiring careful timing and coordination. The game leans into its dual-control mechanic to create challenges that feel distinct from typical platformers. Players note the tight level design and the emotional weight of the story about loss and sacrifice. While not widely discussed in recent years, its 2017 release earned attention for blending action with narrative in a way that feels grounded. The simplicity of its visuals contrasts with the complexity of its puzzles, making it a concise but memorable indie experience.
