Warm nights in the evergreen forest, the peace and quiet, the gentle flicker of fire. Too quiet, almost unnatural. Something sinister lurks in the dark. It's faster than you, it's smarter than you, and it wants you out of it's forest. Your only hope to keep the flames from hollowing. Good luck.

Our guidance
How do I ensure my survival during the night?
You must keep the six campfires burning until dawn arrives. The heart of a burning fire is the only location where the Hollow cannot reach you, providing a safe space to heal your wounds.
What is the primary mechanic for managing my light sources?
You share a single wood supply between your campfires and your lantern. Since there is never enough wood for both, you must make strategic choices about which light source to prioritize to stay alive.
How should I interact with the Hollow when it appears?
You should glance at the Hollow to ward it off. If you catch sight of it up close, it flinches back into cover, but you must never stare at it or it will stop flinching.
If a fire dies, the Hollow will move to that location. If you let too many fires go out, the Hollow breeds, increasing the threat. If all fires die, the creature stops hiding altogether.
Woodpiles are located in the dark areas between your camps. You can carry a maximum of three bundles at a time, but remember that every trip you make leaves the woodpiles smaller than before.
Yes, the heart of a burning fire is the only place where your wounds will heal. You cannot stay there for long, however, because you must attend to other dying fires elsewhere in the forest.
What are the differences between the available difficulty modes?
You can choose between Normal mode, which features six fires, or Hard mode, which increases the challenge by requiring you to manage eight fires. Both modes offer short, eight-minute nights of survival horror gameplay.
Every night generates fresh fire and woodpile locations using a shareable seed. This ensures that no two play sessions are the same, providing a different experience each time you attempt to reach dawn.
The Hollow hates being watched. If you hold its gaze, it stops flinching and becomes more aggressive. It will then circle to your back or wait behind trees to ambush you while you are distracted.
Is it possible to recover from losing all my fires?
Yes, if you have lost all your fires, you can still relight just one of them. Doing so will cause the Hollow to slink back into the shadows, giving you a chance to continue your survival attempt.
