The Hollow guides
Every guide in this dossier, grouped by what you are trying to do rather than by keyword. There are twelve pages; the three below are the ones most players need in the first hour.
Start here
- How to play The Hollow — the loop, controls, saving, and what the game expects from you.
- Beginner guide — the first two hours, and what to do when no marker appears.
- Weapons — the five types, why four of them are locally made, and how selection works.
Investigate the world
- Zaslon and its factions — the three nations, Mnogogrishny, Morok, and the mineral at the centre of it.
- Anomalies and weather — Petryks, the meteorite, fog and thunderstorms, fires at night.
- Quest progression — how objectives chain, and what to check when one goes quiet.
Look things up
- Achievements — all five, with the official descriptions and how many players have them.
- System requirements — the official minimum and recommended specs, and what actually matters.
- Price and release date — what it costs, where it runs, which languages ship with it.
- Update history — every announcement from May to October 2026, in order.
- FAQ — the questions that keep coming up, answered directly.
