Soar through a gloomy megastructure in The Hollowing, the next game from the creator of Lorn's Lure
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
The Hollowing takes the atmospheric megastructure setting of Lorn's Lure and puts players in the cockpit of a rickety plane to navigate hazardous industrial canyons. A playable demo is available now on Steam ahead of its full release later this year.
Developer Rubeki is returning to the oppressive and massive architecture that defined 2024's acclaimed exploration game Lorn's Lure, but this time you are trading climbing axes for an aircraft. Rock Paper Shotgun reports that the upcoming follow-up, titled The Hollowing, drops players into a sprawling megastructure where the main mode of transportation is a rickety plane built from scrap and wire. While the original game was notorious for punishing vertical platforming and frequent falls, this new entry swaps on foot traversal for flight across hazardous industrial canyons.
The core loop revolves around flying between radio outposts, managing your fuel, and performing maintenance to keep your improvised vehicle in the air. Survival requires you to follow guiding lights, steer clear of dangerous spore clouds, and follow instructions from your handler while ignoring unsettling white noise bleeding through your radio. It leans heavily into atmospheric dread, making it an easy recommendation for fans of sprawling sci-fi horror and brutalist architecture.
A playable demo is currently live on Steam for anyone wanting to test their piloting skills ahead of the full launch later this year. Whether you are streaming to an audience looking for your next atmospheric fix or just hunting down unique indie worlds to explore, this one deserves a spot on your radar.
