Plan every step. Keep the fire alive. Make it to morning.
Hollowfire is a turn-based survival game you can play anywhere: on a plane, in a tunnel, on a train with no signal. There are no ads, no timers and nothing to wait for. Every move is yours to plan.
Each expedition drops you on a small map hidden in fog, with a handful of actions a day. Walk, chop wood, dig stone, pick berries, hunt, fish. Build a fire before dark. Then the night comes in: hunger and warmth drop, the fire burns down, and something is out there.
HOW A DAY PLAYS
• Morning: you wake with five or six actions. Every step, chop or hunt costs one. Making gear costs none.
• Day: walk into the fog, gather what you need and build a camp where you mean to sleep.
• Night: the cold, the wolves and the weather take their turn. A night journal tells you how it went.
• Dawn: some mornings something is waiting. Tracks, a stranger's pack, a plane overhead. You choose.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
• Every move is a decision. No reflexes, no rush. Stop any time and pick up exactly where you left off.
• Nights you can see coming. Tomorrow's weather is shown tonight, and the temperature is a real number.
• Threats you can watch. The wolf pack is on the map, a bear follows your trail, and boars fight back.
• A land that fights back. Wildfires, floods, rockfalls and freezes change the map while you sleep.
• 40 recipes, learned one expedition at a time: from a first campfire to a raft, a signal fire and iron armour.
• 19 dawn events with two answers each, and nothing telling you which one is right.
• A stray dog that might decide to stay.
• No two expeditions alike. Every map opens in a different place, from small clearings to wide country.
SIX LANDS
• Greenwood, free: where it starts. Fire, shelter, tools and the first wolves.
• Frostreach: every night is freezing, and wolves hunt from the first dark.
• Stormcoast: water cuts the land into pieces and storms put out your fires.
• Dustlands: the desert adds a fourth bar, thirst.
• Blackwater: a fever marsh of bog, rain and mosquitoes.
• Ridgeback: thin air, iron in every rock and walls of stone.
MORE WAYS TO PLAY
• Daily Expedition: a new map every day, the same for everyone. Keep your streak going.
• Endless runs: no finish line, and every night is harder than the last.
• The Long Walk: one continuous map through every land you own, with seasons. Opens once Greenwood is finished.
Three kinds of objective keep every expedition different: survive the nights, reach the beacon before the rescue window closes, or bring back what was asked for. Earn three stars on each one.
PLAYS OFFLINE, FAIR BY DESIGN
• Every mode plays offline, the Daily Expedition included. Buying or restoring a pack needs a connection.
• No ads, no subscriptions, no timers, no account.
• Greenwood, the Daily Expedition, Greenwood's endless run and the Long Walk are free.
• The other five lands are one-time purchases. The Everything Pack unlocks all of them, including any land we add in the future.
• The Outfit Pack changes how your character looks, and nothing else.
• Purchases are billed by the App Store. Restore purchases is on the packs screen and in Settings, for any device signed in with the same Apple Account.
Available in English and Romanian. VoiceOver describes the map and every bar in words, and larger text sizes are supported.
Hollowfire is a game. Its survival tips are fiction, not real-world safety advice. The game contains brief light flashes (lightning during storms) and screen movement; turning on Reduce Motion in your phone's accessibility settings switches them off.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• A short Terms and safety screen on first launch, with a photosensitivity note. Turning on Reduce Motion now switches off the lightning flashes and the shaking scenery.
• Changing the language in Settings applies everywhere at once, without a restart.
• Romanian: corrected plural forms throughout (days, nights, items).
• VoiceOver describes the map, the bars and the energy pips in words.
• Restore purchases says clearly when there is no connection.
• The Everything Pack description says exactly what it includes.
• Lower battery use: the map redraws only while something moves, and nothing runs in the background.
• Small colour and contrast fixes for red text and destructive buttons.
