Hollow Hike
A downloadable game
Hollow Hike is a short Dark Souls-inspired RPG about traveling a blighted land as a deathless Hollow, repeatedly dying and reviving against difficult foes, discovering the secrets of a lost kingdom, and slaying the Ashen Lords along the way. Hollow Hike is designed for a one-player experience, but can optionally be played with a GM for a duet game. Includes simple instructions to cut and fold Hollow Hike into a zine that fits in your pocket. Also includes an optional character sheet and realm sheets that fit inside the zine.

I just found this game. I love the stylization. The inspiration and clear homage feels accurate to the source material!
What was the font that you used RollForThings?
Thank-you! The body text is Constantia, and the header text is OptimusPrinceps.
Great game as always. I have only tried it once, but it was immediately fun. I like the idea of a hollow just taking a hike through a cursed land. Sure they are fighting things and they may die, but they are in it for the scenery.
Hey, thanks so much! I've been on a Dark Souls kick recently and I do sometimes find myself just walking around and appreciating the backgrounds and other art, but I never thought of that when writing this game lol. Glad you had a good time, and thanks for the comment!
