NAYUTA STUDIO released their psychological horror game for the Nintendo Switch eShop. Hollow Cocoon is a first-person horror adventure game set in 1980s Japan.
An English trailer was released, giving a glimpse into its deceptively peaceful setting.
Players step into the shoes of Minato Jinba, a college student returning to his mother's hometown to tend to her ailing grandmother. In this supposed idyllic environment, Minato must hide from a monster and gather crucial evidence to uncover the hidden truth lurking beneath this family.
Much of its gameplay involves puzzle-solving, exploration and stealth sections. Survival horror veterans familiar with the Amnesia titles will welcome the ‘hiding mechanics’ as an old friend.
Hollow Cocoon features multiple endings, offering a captivating story with four unique conclusions. These endings depend on the choices made throughout the game. This allows the narrative to branch in different directions based on their decisions.
The game provides three difficulty options, catering to different player preferences. They can switch to a lower or a higher difficulty during gameplay if it is too challenging.
The PC version of Hollow Cocoon came out December 7 last year. It has received "very positive" reviews from over 500 users. It was praised for its careful recreation of the nostalgic Japanese countryside of the 1980s.
This Nintendo Switch port supports all three play modes. Players can immerse themselves in TV mode, or keep the horrors smaller with tabletop and handheld mode.
Hollow Cocoon is now available for Download on the eShop for $12.99. The game is currently at a 10% discount until August 8.
