About the Game

"Buried alive, one shall rise."

Descend into the depths of Hollowforge, a decaying mining complex overrun by monstrous horrors born of corporate greed. In this adrenaline-pumping first-person stealth/action game, you'll need more than just firepower to survive—you’ll need to outwit and outmaneuver the abominations lurking in every shadow.

Blending the fast-paced chaos of Doom with the stealth mastery of Thief, Hollowforge delivers a heart-pounding experience where every choice matters. Run, sneak, and shoot your way through a labyrinth of tunnels, making split-second decisions as you unravel the dark secrets of a megacorporation’s failed experiment.

Inspired by the unforgiving challenge of retro classics and the demanding game design associated with Hidetaka Miyazaki's work, Hollowforge is a brutally difficult horror game set deep within abandoned mines. Battle nightmarish creatures, survive relentless encounters, and discover if you have what it takes to escape.

Perfect for fans of hardcore horror, old-school difficulty, and punishing gameplay.

Key Features:

  • Fast-Paced Stealth/Action: Stay sharp. Darkness is your ally, but when the monsters find you, your guns become the final word.

  • Immersive Underground World: Explore the massive, open-ended complex of Hollowforge—a place steeped in mystery, where every corner hides a secret or a nightmare waiting to strike.

  • Resource Management: Conserve your scarce ammo and health, or spend your hard-earned credits at vending machines for a fighting chance.

  • Weapons Arsenal: From pistols to crossbows, take control of a versatile range of weaponry as you adapt to the horrors below.

  • Dynamic 3D Graphics: Feel the tension build with every flicker of light in this atmospheric world. Every shadow could hide an enemy. Every step could be your last.

Get ready to survive. Will you bring the truth to light—or be swallowed by the darkness?

Are you brave enough to face the horrors of Hollowforge?
