More Adventures in the Making
We’ve also been working on more ways to play Mina! Here’s a peek at some of the features in development.
Shake Up Tenebrous Isle
We’re expanding the customizable randomizer with more control over what gets shuffled and how your adventure unfolds. Plans include additional options for collectibles, Sidearms, warps, checkpoints, and alternate completion goals.
Already know the island like the back of your paw? Let’s see how you fare when a few things move around.
Race the Clock
For Hollowers chasing a personal best, we’re working on an in-game timer, individual room timing, and more tools for speedruns and challenge runs. We’re also planning a way to share modifier configurations so other players can try the same setup.
Make Yourself at Home
More accessibility and convenience options are in the works, including settings for flashing effects and jump scares, automatic cutscene skipping, and remembering your last Trinket filter.
On PC, we’re also working on selectable controller button prompts and mouse input bindings.
We don’t have a release date to announce for these additions yet. We’ll share more details as they come together!
