This sounds hilarious actually, bringing together some elements of souls-like with rolling marble gameplay into something I've not seen before.

I always wanted the game to balance heartfelt moments with absurd humor, because that mix feels the most human to me. If you like narrative games that are emotional and genuinely funny try the demo during Steam Next Fest 🖤 #indiegame #indiedev #steamnextfest

Mina the Hollower is out! I was going to just make a quick sprite, but I got a bit carried away and just ended up making a full on high-res mockup instead. Haven't even got around to playing the final release! Gotta fix that.

So I bought and played this yesterday for over 1 hour on my SteamDeck - and I have to say: it's remarkable. An indie game that mixes 3D Platforming with BOTW on a way smaller scale and a bit less polish but very focused on the experience. Unbelievable: store.steampowered.com/app/1221480/...
