The Hollow
_Time Hollow_ is an interactive novel in the vein of games like Phoenix
Wright where the player talks to characters and examine areas to find clues
and items to help them in their quest.
The story takes place with the player taking control of a young man by the
name of Ethan Kairos, who discovers that his family has mysteriously
disappeared and sets off to find them. He then comes across a strange looking
hollow pen and acquires it where he learns its unique and magical property:
the ability to open portals to the past. Using this pen, the player will take
Ethan to the past in search of clues for his family and hopefully prevent the
awful tragedy.
The gameplay mostly consists of exploring areas, searching for clues and items
and encountering a plethora of different characters that can be talked to.
Using these items and conversations with the various characters, the player
must solve puzzles throughout the stages while using the stylus pen to draw
portals to link the past and present and travel between the time rift.
