About the Game

A Tale of Trade in the Heart of Darkness

Mysteries of Black Hollow invites players into the depths of a sunless town suffocated by the Architect’s ancient curse. Survival here depends not only on the swing of a blade, but on the risks you take in trade—and the fragile glow of your lantern.

Explore, Plunder, and Escape

Climb aboard your wagon and raid decaying manors, abandoned hospitals, and nameless graveyards. Race against time to recover valuable relics and sacred ritual fragments needed to restore the cathedral. Remember: where the lantern light fades, not only danger but madness begins.

Become the Master of a Cursed Shop

Display your spoils, haggle with customers to repay your debts, and expand your business. Yet every item you sell feeds dark whispers within your walls. As the spirits bound to each heirloom echo through your shop, wise decisions become a matter of survival.

Risk, Reward, and a Heavy Price

Some treasures are too heavy for one soul to carry; others too cursed to touch. How much you dare to take is up to you but every extra second in the dark increases the chance you may never return. How much of your soul will you sacrifice to rebuild the church?
