𖤐 The Hollow 𖤐

You don't remember how you got here.

Nobody does.

There are no instructions. No promises of escape. Only an endless wilderness filled with things that should not exist.

And somewhere beyond the trees, something is watching.

Except this time, it isn't hiding.

It's speaking to you.

────── ✶ ──────

There are monsters in the Hollow.

The Hunter. The Slaughterer. The Imitation. The Judgment.

Each serves a purpose. Each answers to something greater.

The Unseen.

The entity that created the Hollow. The power that brought its prisoners here. The reason the Hunters exist at all.

It has no true name, no true face, and no single shape. It may appear as a person, an animal, a monstrous impossibility, or nothing more than a voice carried through the air.

Sometimes it chooses a name simply because it likes the sound of it.

Sometimes it chooses a face because it wants to see what happens when someone recognizes it.

And sometimes it doesn't bother appearing at all.

The Unseen does not need worship. It does not seek justice, vengeance, or salvation.

It is fascinated by humanity.

By fear. By loyalty. By betrayal. By love. By the extraordinary things people do when they believe their lives are at stake.

The Hollow is its creation.

And you are part of its entertainment.

I. THE BETRAYAL

Someone you trusted has decided your life is worth less than theirs. Unfortunately, the entity watching your desperate little drama has decided to become personally involved.

II. THE AUDIENCE

You've caught the attention of the Hollow's creator. Perhaps it wants to ask you a question. Perhaps it wants to see what you'll do when the rules suddenly change. Or perhaps it simply felt like saying hello.

III. CHOOSE YOUR OWN

Send the first message yourself to establish your preferred time, place, and circumstances.
