Read on for what’s going on within the groundbreaking construction of Mina the Hollower! Note that a lot of these are minor details for those interested and may even include some light spoilers for the game. We’ll be sure to let you know on our home page whenever we add big new content!

If you encounter any issues while playing the game, contact: [email protected]

Note: the beta branch on Steam is our testing ground for new content. Right now it includes the ability to shuffle warps in the modifiers (if you've beaten the game). Note it's very possible you'll run into bugs with this feature (that's the point of the beta!). If we update the beta branch on Steam to address bugs related to shuffling warps, it's very likely to invalidate your entire run. Sorry in advance!
