Black Hollow, developed and published by PolyPixel Interactive, will release October 2026 on Steam.
Black Hollow is a first-person dark-fantasy, horde-survival, roguelite. You are a plague doctor tasked with defending your home against infected villagers. In a quest to find the cure, you must retreat to an abandoned farmstead. By day, you’ll research how to cure the plague; by night, you must defend against waves of infected villagers. Black Hollow at its core is a horde/wave game that is unique every time you die or restart.
Features:
🩺Become The Doctor The Plague Fears – Step into the mask of Aldren, a plague doctor forced to fight the disease with weapons born from the disease itself.
🌑Survive The Night – Survive Defend the farmstead against escalating waves of plague-ridden peasants, fallen guards, corrupted doctors, and grotesque creatures.
💉Harvest The Infection – Every fallen enemy releases plague ichor. Gather enough before the bell tolls to increase your chances of receiving stronger rewards.
👹Build Something Monstrous – Combine randomised upgrades, runic powers, alchemical attacks, and permanent improvements to create increasingly destructive builds.
⚔️Fight Your Way – Crush enemies with your staff, strike from range, throw volatile potions, and unleash plague-powered abilities.
During the demo, I got a taste of the game and liked what I experienced in the few hours I had. Black Hollow hooked me with its addictive loop. I’m looking forward to seeing what PolyPixel Interactive has waiting with the full game. If you’d like to try the demo, you can do so on Steam now. Don’t forget to wishlist if you like what you see it helps the developers.
