New Narrative CRPG on Steam Is Like Disco Elysium and Planescape: Torment

Inspired by thoughtful and morally complex games like Disco Elysium and Planescape: Torment, Hollow Home tells the story of Maksym, a Ukrainian teenager grappling with the Russian invasion of his country. The game features a distinctive oil-painting art style and an overhead camera angle, visually reminiscent of Disco Elysium, creating a beautiful but somber and damaged world.

I’ve seen them with all sorts of people, from the most celebrated heroes to some pretty notorious villains.

They’re taking on the challenge of creating a James Bond game – a first for them! Previously, Activision published Bond games, but they lost the rights in 2012 after 007 Legends.
