You are the dungeon. Carve the maze, set traps and monsters, then break the heroes across 15 handcrafted raids. One purchase. Complete, offline, no ads or IAP.
The kingdom sends its heroes down. You are what they find.
HollowHeart is a dungeon-lord strategy game in two beats. First you DIG:
carve tunnels through rich rock where every swing costs, veins hide gold
that is not always gold, and the counts in the stone tell the truth if you
learn to read them. Then you DEFEND: place spikes, arrows, boulders, and
worse; post goblins, orcs, and old bones at the choke points; open the
gates and watch the raid unfold — with your wrath ready when a hero
slips the net.
FIVE ACTS, FIFTEEN RAIDS
Each raid is a lesson with a named rival at its head, and every act ends
with a Champion of the realm: the Knight-Marshal who shrugs off arrows,
the Frost Magister, the Master of Mines, the High Prelate, and the
Queen's own champion. Every raid is hand-certified to be winnable — and
to punish a lazy build.
AN ARSENAL THAT ESCALATES
Unlock brood spiders, fire jets, dark mages, rolling boulders, golems,
and the vampire lord. Learn spells gated by the heart itself: rally the
horde, seal the doors, call the lightning.
THE BOUNDLESS DEEP
Seal all five gates and the floor of the world opens. An endless descent
of ever-stronger parties, three heartbeats to spend, and a best-depth
mark to carve. The deep does not end. You do.
ALSO IN THE DARK
- A guided first dig that teaches by doing
- Echo replays: watch any past raid unfold, or relive it fresh
- The Chronicle: every rival remembered, every lesson kept
- No ads, no in-app purchases, no internet required
The heart is starving. Dig it to the sky.
Ratings & Reviews

The deep found its voice.
NEW MUSIC: a theme for the build, a theme for the raid, and a proper sting when a Champion steps out of the dark. The priest's revive and the sapper's breach now sound like themselves.
A tuning pass on the caves: the ambience now breathes under the music instead of fighting it, and every sting lands in key.
Small fixes throughout. The Heart is listening.
