Mina the Hollower is out now, and what an opening weekend it has been.
After six years of development, our fright-filled action-adventure has finally burrowed into the world, and we have been overwhelmed by the response. Thank you to everyone who has played, streamed, reviewed, shared, posted screenshots, left comments, reported bugs, gotten lost, found secrets, and descended into Tenebrous Isle.
Since release, we’ve been thrilled to see Mina become the highest-rated game of the year on Metacritic. We poured our hearts and souls into this strange little mouse adventure, and seeing players and critics connect with it has meant the world to us.

Thank You for an Incredible Launch!!
