What Is Hollow Cocoon?
They simply lay their eggs and perish.
Depressing, sure, but all the more intriguing the more we dive into it.
In the words of its creator: HollowCocoonis a first-person horror adventure game set in 1980s Japan.
Immerse yourself in meticulously recreated environments as you venture into the depths of unspeakable horrors that await you.
They simply lay their eggs and perish.
People are the reason they suffer this fate.
The sky reddens in the twilight, and the mountains cast an ominous shadow, the blurb continues.
Minato finds himself in this house.
There, he finds himself in a terrifying situation with a shocking truth.
So, dont expect a bit of linearity to hold you back from unlocking several additional layers, basically.
In short, that means plenty of hide-and-seek, fact finding, and scavenging for resources and clues.
All of this will culminate in a head-to-head confrontation with one of the towns biggest secrets: the silkworm.
Or at least, thats what weve gathered from the trailer and its slew of in-game screenshots, anyhow.
Hide yourself from the monster and gather vital evidence to unravel the bone-chilling truth lurking beneath the surface!
Experience a captivating story with four unique endings.
Your choices will lead the story down different branching paths.
As for why the town is deserted is still unknown.
Heres hoping, anyway.
