About the Game

Hollow Host is a nightmarish roguelike horror experience where you are relentlessly pursued by an intelligent, ever-adapting creature. Explore a procedurally generated hellscape, possess corpses with unique abilities, and search for a way out of damnation—if one exists.

Command the Dead

Take control of three unique corpses, each with specialized abilities to help you survive and escape. Whether it's brute force, speed, or holy smites, death becomes your weapon.

Hunted by Intelligence

The monster isn't just scary—it's smart. Driven by a real AI language model, it adapts, reacts, and remembers. It's not a scripted stalker... it's something worse.

A Hell That Shifts

Every run is different. The procedurally generated world rearranges itself each time you die. No safe path, no guaranteed exit—only chaos and suffering.

Descend Into the Dungeons

Face forgotten horrors, ancient traps, and twisted lore as you venture deeper into the dark. Each of the three dungeon offers clues to break free from hell—or bind you tighter to it.

Escape alone or with friends

Including both a singleplayer campaign and a multiplayer online mode, you can face damnation alone or with other players. Extra snacks for the evil tormentor after you.
