Kyiv-based indie studio Twigames has announced the launch date of a crowdfunding campaign for the development of the story-driven isometric game Hollow Home. Fundraising on the Kickstarter platform will begin on August 4, 2026 and will last until August 24. How much money do the developers want to raise?
The developers note that they already have a partnership agreement with publisher Crunchy Leaf Games, which provides basic development funding. Funds from Kickstarter will allow them to implement additional ideas and expand the game's capabilities before its official release.
The campaign's financial goal is $15,000, and the funds raised will be used for additional refinement, deepening of game content, and improving the final version of the project.
Hollow Home is an isometric role-playing game without a combat system. The main character is a 14-year-old boy named Maxim, who is trying to survive the first days of the siege of the city. The gameplay is based on choices, dialogues, and building relationships with the townspeople. The city in the game changes every day: certain areas become inaccessible, and people disappear, which forms a branched narrative with several ending options.
"Survival here means dialogues, choices, relationships, and daily work to support yourself and the people around you," the project authors explain.
Players can evaluate the game mechanics and atmosphere right now - the free Hollow Home demo is available on Steam.
Recall that in a conversation with dev.ua, Twigames founder Valeriy Minenko spoke about the challenges of creating a game, how developers convey the horrors of war crimes, and the state of the game development industry in Ukraine.
