Black Hollow

Black Hollow is a dark fantasy roguelite FPS where you play as a lone plague doctor defending a remote farmstead from waves of plague-stricken villagers. Fight through the night with your staff, lantern, and unstable plague mixtures, then use the remains of the infected to unlock new attacks, potions, and upgrades at an ancient runestone.

The town of Black Hollow has fallen to the Hollow Plague, a strange sickness that twists its victims into violent, rabid, demon-like creatures. As the last plague doctor still searching for a cure, you have retreated to an abandoned farmstead to continue your research. Each night, the infected come through the fields. Each corpse leaves behind plague ichor, organs, and corrupted materials that may bring you closer to understanding the sickness.
