War is something no one likes discussing when it’s happening right now. It causes pain and suffering to everyone within it, and everyone watching from afar. Yet, there are stories to be told within these conflicts, especially when it opens the eyes of those who dare not look. Today, an RPG launched on Kickstarter called Hollow Home, and it’s about the conflict that’s happening right now between Ukraine and Russia. The team at Twigames is seeking $15,000 to help finish production of the title and already has 5K raised. Here is a synopsis for the game and a trailer:
“Hollow Home is an isometric narrative RPG that puts players in the shoes of Maksym, a 14-year-old boy, surviving the earliest days of the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Each in-game day, players face difficult choices about how Maksym spends his time and who he spends it with. The game’s branching narrative and multiple endings ensure that every decision has meaning and consequences.”
