The time has finally come.

After a couple months of development, playtesting, feedback, bug fixes, and major improvements, the Black Hollow Demo is now officially available to play!

Step into the plague-ridden world of Black Hollow as Aldren, a plague doctor trapped in an endless cycle of death and resurrection. Battle relentless waves of infected enemies, harvest plague ichor, discover powerful relic combinations, and grow stronger with every toll of the bell.

What to Expect

  • Fast-paced first-person roguelite combat

  • Multiple attacks and abilities to master

  • Powerful relics that transform your playstyle

  • Increasingly dangerous waves of plague-ridden enemies

  • Permanent progression and unlockable upgrades

  • Plenty of secrets, combinations, and future content still to come

This demo represents a major milestone for Black Hollow, but development is far from finished. Your feedback will play a huge role in shaping the full game.

After playing, please share your thoughts in the Steam Discussions or through the in-game feedback form. Bug reports, balance suggestions, performance feedback, and general impressions are all incredibly valuable.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the playtest, submitted feedback, wishlisted the game, or supported the project in any way.

Download the demo and enter Black Hollow today.
