About the game

For those who finished Hollow Knight and want more. Not a remake or a mod — a new world, a new story, that same feeling.

An empty world after a catastrophe. A wanderer stands alone among the ruins, with history hidden in fragments and survivors' voices. No long explanations: characters speak in riddles and hints. Find the answers yourself.

Scenes from the demo

The hall floor crumbles: a red collapse front advances from the left while the wanderer runs right by lantern light
Escape the HallsThe floor crumbles behind you. It will not wait. Keep moving.
The wanderer on narrow steps near the castle summit, with golden-eyed stone fliers approaching from both sides
The SummitNarrow steps and a swarm of stone fliers. The very top of the castle.

Trial of Light

Darkness has almost swallowed the hall. Sparks of light flash in the shadows. Click to catch them before time runs out. How many can you hold?

Sparks are just for fun. Only your nickname and score are saved.

The Watcher's final entry

It had not vanished. It had gone nowhere — only fallen quiet, like fire beneath the ashes. The seal kept it locked away, and we called that victory. But victory means the enemy is dead. It was alive. It was waiting. And when the seal began to crack from within, the people here had already forgotten how to be afraid. That was when the wanderer came. That was when everything began again.

Waiting list

Leave an in-game nickname to be among the first to enter Hallownest when the gates open.

An in-game nickname only. No real name or personal details.
