Hollow

A dark Diablo-style ARPG demo where you descend beneath Gravesend Hollow, gather cursed loot, build your character without classes, and survive the first 5 dungeon levels.

Free Windows beta demo. Donations are optional. Feedback is what helps most right now.

Hollow is an old-school action RPG inspired by the mood, pacing, danger, and loot-driven progression of classic dungeon crawlers. You begin in the haunted town of Gravesend Hollow and descend into the mines beneath it, where the dead do not rest and something ancient is wrong below.

There are no fixed classes. Your character grows through attributes, gear, and an ability tree, letting you shape your own build as you find weapons, armor, jewelry, magical items, scrolls, potions, and cursed treasures.

This demo includes the opening town and the first 5 dungeon levels. It is meant to be replayed, tested, broken, criticized, and improved.

WHAT I NEED FEEDBACK ON

If you play the demo, even a short comment helps.

I am especially looking for feedback on:

- Combat feel

- Enemy difficulty

- Loot drops and item balance

- Ability usefulness

- Dungeon pacing

- Atmosphere and music

- UI clarity

- Bugs or broken interactions

- Performance issues

- Anything that feels confusing, unfair, too slow, or too easy

Do not feel like feedback has to be polished. A simple “this felt good” or “this part annoyed me” is useful.
