Intensely scary game that improves on Dark Veer in subtle ways! Very creepy atmosphere, and I became very tense when things started happening all at once. 9.5/10
The style and sound were good, but that was all I kinda enjoyed.
Can't say it was my cup of tea, I'm not really a fan of the 'sit in one spot while you shine a flashlight on things in your room to stop them from attacking you while at the same time managing your anxiety levels' type of game and the screenshots and description made me think that I'd be moving around a house or something.
Sure this one has the added baby in the room that needs to cry every 30 seconds, but without still being able to freely use the flashlight while your out of bed, it's just another thing to manage and feels like that's the only reason for the free roaming, which makes it a little less free, making it feel like every other game where you sit in bed and shine a flashlight on things in your room.
Also on that, kept getting stuck on objects in the room while going to comfort the baby, since i'd just get up facing the wrong direction and couldn't see which way to go to get free (gee if only there was some sort of device that I was holding just a second ago that could illuminate the area and let me move in the correct direction to get unstuck).
Anyways, I'm sure fans of the horror subgenre this one fits under will enjoy it, I just can't. Made a video anyway, hope you enjoy!
So I start playing this game... 2 minutes in... "Nope, no thank you, i'm out" That's how you know it's a good game, when you're too much of a b**** to play it by yourself. Great job on the game!
I was confused a bit at first, but when I knew what I was doing it was a GG lol. Anyways, great game with some great machanics it didn't feel like I was playing so long after recording until I looked at the video length 😂 Good job 👍🏾
Played this for a 3 free indie horrors, and i wasn't very fond of the game, gonna be honest. it's not a bad game, hell it's the best one of the the 3, but i really didn't like it personally. I give a honest in-depth review in my video. (Warning review may come across as harsh)
I realised after recording this that the file was for Dark Veer, I thought it was just a retitle sorry if it came across wrong, developers, i’ll Play the real version and reupload, love your work regardless
I liked you style how you make a walkthrough, dude. I think i going subscribe your channel. I am old and I am tired of kids type gameplay. I really need to watch some guy like you comments. It's cool. I appreciate you style, lucid is good. Congratulations dude. We ,who has almost 40 years old, need some gameplay product like yours. Nice to watch you. I wish much more success for you. you deserve it. Sorry for my weak english.
You really created an eerie atmosphere! This was so fun to play and the pixel art style really added to it :D
I don't know if you've heard of Game Development World Championship before (gdwc2019) but it's a competition for indie game developers where they can submit their games and it's free! It's great if you want some more visibility for the game and it only takes a couple of minutes to join :)
I think they accidentally put in Dark Veer instead of Hollow Cries in the download section on Itch.io, but on GameJolt it's the correct game so in the meantime, just get the game over there instead.
Sure thing! I was going to do a part two of your other game (Dark Veer I assume was the one accidental uploaded instead) because it was so good, so I'm excited to see your newer one!

Finished chapter 3 and 4! Really loved the style of it.
Wow, this game made me scream out loud and defeated me.
Interesting game to say the least. It's one of those boogey man type of games, where you defend yourself with a flash light.
Definitely going to make a fullplay through of this.
Game starts at 8:12
Definitely got some legit jumps out of me! Very well done! The first jump almost had me fall out of my chair!

Here's my playthrough:
Was a neat horror game.

The first game i managed to play before Markiplier! AND ITS AN AWESOME GAME TOO! :D :D :D
Great little indie game, had loads of fun with this one. Had some great scares and an amazing sound design. Another great addition to the series!
Gameplay:
Lots of fun! Made it through all chapters! Wish there was more! Looking forward to what you come up with next!
I absolutely love this game. I will always enjoy the games coming from you and will always find them terrifying.
I was confused a bit at first, but when I knew what I was doing it was a GG lol. Anyways, great game with some great machanics it didn't feel like I was playing so long after recording until I looked at the video length 😂 Good job 👍🏾
Легкий хоррор, но все ровно классно :)
Gave it a go...
Nice game. The graphics are great. Similar to Dark Veer in a lot of ways but I like this one better for some reason.
The only thing I didn't really like is if you die you have to go through two loading sequences to get back in.
TIME FOR ROUND TWO!

Nice little game, be good to see how far they go with it. Feel free to check out my video on jt
Ouija boards are bad mmmkay.
I'm playing the actual game this time guys 😂 Really good work, loved it
I COULDNT WAIT for you guys to make another one, and i wasnt disappointed. 10/10 needs more whining baby tho. JOHNNY SHUT THE HECK UP!!
im not sure what to do. when I downloaded it, only a text file comes up with some gibberish non sense in it.. what do I do? :((
And wow it's for Windows I really hate myself for chosing a mac, it really sucks.
I realised after recording this that the file was for Dark Veer, I thought it was just a retitle sorry if it came across wrong, developers, i’ll Play the real version and reupload, love your work regardless
(100% COMPLETE.) BETTER NOT GET ANXIOUS OR YOU DED.
:)
please re download the game as the wrong game everyone as the wrong game files got added :) but its now correct
I had really good fun playing this 😂 It's obviously an adaptation of Dark Veer but I liked it all the same, 5 stars
please re download game as the wrong game was added :)
Really creepy game. I like the free roam aspect.

Yes finally another game.
I'm not sure what's going on, but both download buttons in the Itch client install Dark Veer instead of Hollow Cries for me.
I think they accidentally put in Dark Veer instead of Hollow Cries in the download section on Itch.io, but on GameJolt it's the correct game so in the meantime, just get the game over there instead.
Indeed i have fixed it now! so you can now get it here too
Sweet! It's working now. Dark Veer scared the crap out of me so I'm looking forward to giving this a spin!
What's the different between DARK VEER and HOLLOW CRIES？
Its based in the same universe as part of a collection im doing.
Just a heads up, you should probably fix the download link so it actually downloads Hollow Cries instead of Dark Veer.
Game so scary, I knocked over my lighting! Great work! :D

So the game is Hollow Cries but the file has the name Dark Veer, interesting...

Great game, glad to complete this Demo. I was able to do some fun things with this one.
