How it feels

A claustrophobic, retro-styled horror where oppressive tension and lingering dread outweigh jump scares.

What players say

Players are divided on Hollow Head's Director's Cut. Some find it an effective, creeping horror with strong atmosphere and a low price, others call it a tedious maze with an unfair instakill monster and no clear story. The game is very short, around 30 minutes, and has a distinct lo-fi PS1 look. Linux users report a mouse cursor misalignment bug.
