The main storyline revolves around restoring a rundown farm and uncovering the mysteries of the ancient Shinto shrines scattered throughout the Japanese highlands. Players will also build relationships with NPCs and engage in various side quests.

Initially, we plan to release Shinzen Hollow on Steam. Depending on the support from the community (if we hit a specific stretch goal) we would love to port the games to other platforms as well.

Players can engage in various activities such as terrace farming, crafting, building, exploring, interacting with NPCs, and restoring ancient Shinto shrines. The game also includes cooking, seasonal changes, and a combat system.

Shinzen Hollow sets itself apart with its stunning Japanese highlands setting, rich storytelling, and innovative gameplay mechanics like terrace farming and shrine restoration. The game immerses players in Japanese culture, offering a cozy, stress-free environment filled with dynamic world interactions and meaningful NPC relationships.

Initially, Shinzen Hollow will release as a single player game. However, we fully have plans to update to allow both split-screen and online co-op eventually. If we hit a specific stretch goal on our Kickstarter campaign, we will make it a high priority to get multiplayer implemented into the game much sooner.
