Mina the Hollower is a top-down adventure game that looks like it was ripped directly from a Game Boy Color. You play as Mina, a mouse, and you’ll use things like your whip and the ability to burrow underground to take on enemies.
The game was initially announced in February 2022 alongside a Kickstarter to help raise funds for development. The Kickstarter was a big success, raising more than $1.2 million.
If you want to try Mina the Hollower ahead of its official launch, Yacht Club games is releasing a demo for the game that’s available now and will be part of next week’s Steam Next Fest. I got early access to the demo and really loved it. Any progress you make in the demo, which ends with the game’s first big boss fight, can be brought over to the final game.
