Description


Hollow Stories: Lockdown is a survival horror noir game set in the 1990s, where every corner hides secrets and nothing is what it seems. Players must uncover a web of police corruption and a hidden cult operating from the shadows, facing moral dilemmas, crime, and violence in a city under siege.


Inspired by late-90s horror and suspense classics, the game blends cinematic fixed cameras with first-person aiming, delivering a neo-retro experience that mixes exploration, tension, and strategic combat. The classic inventory system increases tension by limiting resources, forcing players to make careful, high-stakes decisions.


Features


  • Cinematic Fixed Cameras: A throwback to classic survival horror, with dramatic angles that build suspense and hide threats.
  • First-Person Aiming: Switch to first-person view for precise shooting during tense encounters.
  • Noir Narrative: Uncover a dark conspiracy through cryptic documents, phone calls, and unreliable allies.
  • Limited Inventory: Manage your items carefully — every decision counts.
  • Moral Dilemmas: Choose between justice, survival, or personal redemption.
  • Atmospheric Sound Design: A haunting soundtrack and immersive audio pull you into the shadows of the city.

Story Summary


In 1997, a detective is called to investigate a series of ritualistic murders in a decaying city plagued by corruption. As he digs deeper, he uncovers a secret society embedded within the police force, manipulating events from the shadows. Haunted by his past and hunted by both criminals and allies, he must decide whether to expose the truth — knowing it could destroy everything — or disappear into the night, becoming just another ghost in the system.
