Insights, Social Media, Videogames

Kyiv, Ukraine – Twigames is humbled to announce that Hollow Home, a story-driven RPG with a 3D isometric view set in a Ukrainian city under siege, has officially started its journey on Kickstarter.

Hollow Home is a story about the war’s emotional and psychological toll on civilians. Inspired by the real events in Mariupol. Hollow Home aims to offer a meaningful and respectful experience that honors the resilience of those affected by conflict, fosters empathy, and preserves the memory of a city torn apart.

Beyond its artistic and testimonial value, Hollow Home is also a bold statement on the power of video games to tell difficult, necessary stories. After three years of development, the game is now on Kickstarter to secure the resources needed to meet the high-quality standard to reach a global audience.

“Hollow Home is more than just a commercial product for us. It’s a passion project with stunning art, an evocative soundtrack, and a rich, dramatic story. Instead, it’s a project meant to make you reflect on the world we live in and inspire you to think about how we can make it better,” stated Valerii Minenko, Founder of Twigames. “We believe the story we want to tell is important and deserves to be heard. Kickstarter is the best place to find a community that shares our values and is willing to support meaningful, thought-provoking projects like ours.”
