Although the game requires crowdfunding (with the base goal already hit…), the fans’ money is guaranteed to be in safe hands.

Yacht Club Games announced an 8-bit, action-adventure game that follows the Nintendo Game Boy Color (an 8-bit handheld from the late 90s) aesthetic, in development for all significant platforms, although the plans can change. The base goal of 311503 dollars is already hit, even though the campaign still has 29 days left, meaning Mina The Hollower can hit millions of dollars in funding.

Here’s the overview by Yacht Club Games: “Descend into a frightful world of action-adventure in Mina the Hollower. Take control of Mina; a renowned Hollower hurtled into a desperate mission to rescue a cursed island. Burrow beneath hazards and monsters, whip foes into oblivion, and gear up with an arsenal of sidearms and trinkets. Explore a vast world filled with pixel-perfect graphics, masterful gameplay, beastly bosses, and infectious music. Encounter a cast of bizarre characters, search out secrets in an array of exotic locales, and illuminate the omnipresent darkness in Mina the Hollower, a brand new game from the developers who brought you Shovel Knight!

Hauntingly authentic 8-bit visuals in the style of Game Boy Color, refined for the modern era. Modern touches abound: detailed animation, widescreen visuals, and rock-solid controls! Leap, dodge, and burrow through the ground to battle monsters or navigate the world. Lash at foes with your trusty whip, Nightstar—or choose from an arsenal of weapons, each with a different move set.

Discover and utilize a reliquary’s worth of unusual Sidearms to gain the advantage in combat. Collect and equip Trinkets to acquire a variety of exotic effects. Level Mina up to suit your unique playstyle. Electrifying MSX-style soundtrack by chiptune virtuoso Jake Kaufman. Descend into the depths of madness with a bone-chilling yet heartwarming tale inspired by Victorian Gothic horror. Explore a vast, dark world brimming with secrets, challenging battles, and interconnected level design,” the studio wrote.

Mina The Hollower is in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC (Steam), PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. The release date is unknown, and the target platforms might change. As Yacht Club Games has already hit its financial target, it can already be considered a success.
