About the Game

Hollow Stories: Lockdown is a survival horrorĀ noir game set in the 1990s, where every corner hides secrets and nothing is what it seems. Players must uncover a web of police corruption and a hidden cult operating from the shadows, facing moral dilemmas, crime, and violence in a city under siege.

Inspired by late-90s horror and suspense classics, the game blends cinematic fixed cameras with first-person aiming, delivering a neo-retro experience that mixes exploration, tension, and strategic combat. The classic inventory system increases tension by limiting resources, forcing players to make careful, high-stakes decisions.
