Mysteries of Black Hollow

You never asked for this curse, but now the shop belongs to you, with all that comes with it: customers who need convincing, a register that only takes cash, and ten locked houses on the edge of town that everyone else avoids.

At night, the Coachman brings you to the houses. You bring relics, strange items, or things the dead left behind; anything that might be valuable at the counter. Surviving long enough to leave is important too. Each house holds something inside, sometimes just waiting for you to slip up, and by then, it’s too late to hide.

In Black Hollow, you don’t die. Instead, you get caught and tossed out with nothing, left to watch the night and see all your risks amount to nothing.

Price your stock, fill the shelves, and count every coin by hand. In Black Hollow, every sale matters. Keep the shop alive long enough, and perhaps you'll earn enough to perform the next ritual. Or perhaps you'll simply find another reason to stay.

The Coachman will take you where others refuse to go. Abandoned houses wait beyond the town, filled with forgotten relics and things that should have stayed buried. Fill your sack, weigh the risk, and decide how much you're willing to carry into the dark. Just remember: the longer you stay, the harder it becomes to stay awake.

Every house has its own rules. The Maid listens for every sound. Something in the Architect's House watches the light. Learn what hunts you before it learns where you are. Everything you carry is real. Drop it, and it may break. Break it, and you lose its value. And if something catches you, you'll leave with nothing but the night you wasted.

What you earn during the day can buy you another chance at night. Spend it on rituals and slowly peel away the curse hanging over Black Hollow. But the town does not stay the same. Every ritual changes what waits beyond its streets, opening new paths while revealing new dangers. And this is only the beginning. The full game will take you deeper into Black Hollow, with more houses, creatures, cursed items, strange tradespeople, and debts waiting to be uncovered.
