As the bus rumbles across the country road, Minato recalls his only conversation with his grandmother. "-- The thing with silkworms, you know; even if they could leave their cocoons, they have no mouths to eat, and their wings do not fly. They simply lay their eggs and perish." "People are the reason they suffer this fate." The sky reddens in the twilight, and the mountains cast an ominous shadow. Minato finds himself in this house There, he finds himself in a terrifying situation with a shocking truth.

Hollow Cocoon's beautiful atmosphere isn't enough to overcome its flawed design. Poor map markers and weak stealth sections hold it back from being a truly satisfying horror experience.

Hollow Cocoon has potential, and is notable for its visuals, but it lacks enough compelling and suspenseful ideas to succeed as a survival-horror title.
