Hollow Rhyme

  http://steamcommunity.com/shar…

Hollow Rhyme tells a story about a boy who wakes up at his school at night.

As he tries to go back, he notices an unusual scene. There is not even one person around, and what seems like a familiar place is revealed to have an other side.

Little does he know, he's not actually alone.

Chilling Horror

Hollow Rhyme contains multiple mechanics to sustain a long eerie adventure. A sickly boy will need to manage his breath, hide from his pursuers, and carry out different tasks to safely escape the night.

Alluring Places to Be

Supported by 2.5D environments, Hollow Rhyme can hopefully expose a more enticing experience than other horror games. We’ve implemented a simple technique to make the lighting consistent but still take advantage of the details and colors of 2D art.

Different Side of the Story

Something seen one way could change when seen from the other side. Hollow Rhyme tries to not tell the story directly but leaves some things for the players to put together.

Continuity

We plan for Hollow Rhyme to be told in three episodes in which each episode will continue the boy’s journey as he goes deeper into the night. By separating the story structure, we have the advantage of telling a self-contained story within a bigger picture, but still be able to supply ourselves with a healthy amount of instant noodles to eat.

Formerly a game jam group Maxi and The Gang, we’ve made experimental story games, wacky comedy action games, and horror games. Our most well-known games are the Anxiety series (Anxiety and Anxiety: Lost Night), which have been played by a considerable amount of people and let's players around the world. Changing our name to Circus Horse is just a way to make it less embarrassing for our group to be called at conventions.
