About the Game

Hollowveil is a top-down adventure RPG where you play as Aren, a shipwreck survivor who washes up on a mysterious island. After regaining consciousness on an unfamiliar beach, Aren must explore the island, uncovering its secrets and the strange events that have twisted its once-peaceful forests.

Guided by a local herbalist named Lily and a reclusive former warrior named Garron, Aren learns about the rise of the Raccoon King—an enormous who was once a harmless forest dweller. Now empowered by a strange, magical calamari, the Raccoon King rules the forest with brute strength, supported by an army of raccoon and reptile minions.

The inventory UI can be toggled with the I key, displaying all collected items in a grid format with visual indicators for equipped weapons.
• Boss Fight: The King Racoon serves as the game's boss encounter. Unlike regular raccoons, the King Racoon has increased health, stronger attacks, and bigger size. After defeating this formidable enemy, a victory dialogue sequence plays, followed by a transition to the game's credits sequence.
