• Unreal Engine 5

  We have decided to migrate the game to Unreal Engine 5 in order to truly bring to life the ‘House in The Hollow’ and we are making good progress with the changeover.
  
  This change allows us to add new game features, including full raytracing support with Unreal Engine 5 Lumen support as well as the addition of detailed 3d models with Nanite
  
  The 'House in The Hollow' isn't just about the mysterious Manor House, surrounding the Manor is a dark woodland called 'Braebrook Forest'.
  
  Explore the woodland to discover the lost Manor House.
  
  

  

  

  

  

• Abandoned Crypt

  We have been having fun creating the statues for the crypt in the game.
  
  Hidden in the forest in a dark and long abandoned crypt, worshippers of Zuriel prayed to statues in honour of the demon lord.
  
  Performing rituals and supplicating to this demon the worshippers risked their very souls, but to escape the Hollow you will need to uncover the true purpose of the crypt and the strange symbols it contains.
  
  

  

• Ray Tracing Support

  A mysterious elevator lays hidden somewhere within the manor house.
  
  Search the manor to discover its location and uncover the secret of the lift’s ultimate destination.
  
  The House in The Hollow will feature full support for global illumination, ray traced reflections, ray traced shadows, ray traced ambient occlusion including ray traced translucency.
  
  The game can be enjoyed on graphics cards without raytracing support, but to enhance the games visuals a ray tracing capable graphics card will enable the most realistic and beautiful game world and environment possible for the player to explore.
