The game is in development at Rubeki Games and is a first-person horror flight simulation. Players take the role of a pilot who maintains communication towers installed inside a giant structure, flying between them with poor visibility and relying on lights to find runways. At each tower, the pilot performs repairs and refuels before heading to the next one. A woman's voice over the radio gives instructions during the flight. The title was announced during PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct 2026, a stream that ran from September 21 Japan time. The Hollowing shares a worldview with Rubeki Games' earlier title Lorn's Lure, and both use retro 3D graphics to build an eerie atmosphere. Players who stay on course may discover the truth behind the maintenance mission.","whyItMatters":"The demo arrives at the same time as the game's announcement, so the first public look at The Hollowing comes with something playable rather than a trailer alone.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Steam demo for The Hollowing ships with a trailer that shows a pilot following a woman\u0026#39;s voice over the radio and taking off for a maintenance flight. The trailer was released to coincide with the demo\u0026#39;s distribution.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe game is described as a first-person horror flight simulation, and visibility around the giant structure is poor. Players use lights to locate runways, land, repair the communication tower, refuel, and move to the next tower. Rubeki Games also made Lorn\u0026#39;s Lure, and The Hollowing shares a worldview with that earlier title. Both use retro 3D graphics to create an eerie atmosphere, and the demo lets players experience that style directly. The reveal took place during PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct 2026, a stream that began September 21 Japan time.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Rubeki Games keeps Lorn's Lure's retro 3D look but drops the climbing: The Hollowing is a flight sim where the pilot has no visibility, so the runway is found by light, not skill.","twitterPost":"The Hollowing trades Rubeki Games' Lorn's Lure climbing for flight. The pilot finds runways by light and radar, not sight.","threadsPost":"The Hollowing shares a worldview with Rubeki Games' Lorn's Lure, but where Lorn's Lure was about climbing, this is a flight sim. The pilot's job is landing on runways that are invisible until the lights come on, so the horror comes from the approach, not the tower.","newsletterBlurb":"Future Friends Games has put out a Steam demo for The Hollowing, a first-person horror flight simulation from Rubeki Games. You play a pilot repairing communication towers inside a giant structure, relying on a woman's voice over the radio and runway lights to stay on course.
