Take the Reins of a Ghostly Hayride: Cherry Pie Games’ Hollow

In the lead-up to IndieCade East, we’re spotlighting the top 20 3D Jam experiences chosen by the jury and community votes. These spotlights will focus on game design, interaction design, and the big ideas driving our community forward.

On horseback, you can explore a frighteningly familiar landscape where spectres haunt the edges of your vision. Hollow is available for Windows with optional (and highly recommended) Oculus Rift support.
