Dusk Hollow

Dusk Hollow follows a miner braving the dark depths of an underground cave system, all to rescue his friends who have seemingly been taken by the cave itself. Using what tools he finds around him, the protagonist has to fight against rock monsters inhabiting the recesses of the cavern. The game encourages quick thinking, with fighting hinged on using weapons found around the environment and using materials to upgrade the player’s abilities to assist in combating the creatures of the depths. The flashlight is the most important tool in the player’s arsenal, being the main way to view and traverse the level, and importantly, visibly see enemies through the darkness. Dusk Hollow features multiple levels with unique themes and mechanics that challenges the player’s use of both combat and flashlight mechanics.
