A small cloaked figure with a horned white mask and black eyes, a nail held upright before it, standing in a grey cavern of hanging roots and drifting spores.

The art and the music got me before anything else did. Every frame of it is drawn by hand, and Christopher Larkin’s score does half the work of making Hallownest feel like a place that has already ended. Three people in Adelaide made this. It did not click straight away, and then it did, and after that it was the combat and the exploring. My first metroidvania. There is a sadness sitting over the whole thing, and it is still one of the most fun games I have played.
