The game is seeking funding on Kickstarter, for the small amount of 276,282€ which has been surpassed in a very few hours.

The projected release date on Kickstarter for Mina the Hollower is December 2023, but we assume that's still a generic date that could change at any time.

The official description reads, "You play as Mina, you are a whip-armed Hollower and a visionary inventor. Mina receives a troubling letter from Baron Lionel, her longtime patron, and overseer of Tenebrous Island. Mina's advances in Spark technology first brought power to the island many years ago, ushering in new prosperity for its citizens. But now, the spark generators have shut down, and crime is suspected. You'll use a myriad of weapons and bizarre trinkets to defeat the monsters that stand in the way of Mina's goal. Along the way, you'll uncover the deep, dark secrets hidden beneath behind the island's prosperity."
