About the Game

🌿 Welcome to Hollow Town

A beautiful little town with friendly neighbors, lovely scenery, and a strange sense that everyone is hiding something.

You spent your life savings on an old farm here.

Not to chase some peaceful countryside dream, but to investigate your grandmother’s disappearance.

She was once the mayor of Hollow Town—until one day, she simply vanished.

Everyone in town knows you came here looking for her.

And everyone is trying very hard to act like that is completely normal.

🚜 First, You’ll Need to Survive

Grow crops, raise animals, fish, forage, hunt, take on orders, sell goods, and slowly turn a run-down farm into something that can actually keep you alive.

By day, you work hard to earn money.

By night, you can wonder why you spent everything you had on a place that is clearly full of problems.

The good news: your farm will get better. The bad news: the town will get weirder.

🏡 Turn an Old Farm into a Home

Decorate your house, buy furniture, design your rooms, and turn your temporary shelter into a real home.

After all, even when you are investigating a disappearance, you still deserve:

  • A nice kitchen

  • A comfortable bedroom

  • A living room that makes you look emotionally stable

👗 Dress Like You Belong Here

Looking presentable around town matters too.

Buy clothes and mix and match hairstyles, tops, pants, shoes, and accessories. Make yourself look like an ordinary new resident—not a suspicious outsider who bet their entire future on a missing-person case.

Dress cozy, stylish, cute, strange, or, at the very least, like you were not just dug out of a field.

💬 Get to Know the Residents

Chat with the townspeople, give gifts, complete requests, build relationships, and listen closely as they talk about boring daily life, suspicious rumors, and sentences that definitely ended too soon.

Everyone has their own:

  • Personality

  • Preferences

  • Relationships

  • Secrets

Some will help you. Some will avoid you. Some smile a little too hard.

🌊 A Perfect Place for a Fresh Start

On the surface, Hollow Town is a peaceful island town where you can:

🌱 Farm and grow crops 🐄 Raise animals 🎣 Fish, forage, and hunt 💰 Earn money and complete orders 🛋️ Decorate your house 👚 Customize your appearance 💛 Make friends and build relationships 🔎 Search for the truth about your grandmother

You can build a busy new life here.

As long as you can ignore the noises coming from deep in the forest.

Ignore the residents’ strange silence.

Ignore the clues your grandmother left behind.

And ignore the fact that this town is pretending everything is fine.
