Yacht Club Games, creator of the delectable Shovel Knight games, promised some big news this week. Earlier on the Xplay Live show hosted by G4, the company revealed Mina the Hollower, a retro, Zelda-like game now on Kickstarter. The game stars Mina, a little mouse taking on a dangerous world. Shovel Knight felt like a celebration of classic, action platformers of yore, and Mina looks to do that same with Zelda-likes. Yacht Club’s Kickstarter page for the game makes it pretty clear just exactly what kind of influence spurned Mina the Hollower‘s creation.

During Yacht Club Games Presents 2022, Yacht Club Games revealed Mina The Hollower, a project now live on Kickstarter. The announcement was accompanied by a new trailer.

Mina looks to be a top-down adventure game in the same vein as The Legend of Zelda, though with a heavy dose of gothic and potentially horror vibes. The game features a very Game Boy Color aesthetic, though it's set to release for modern-day consoles.

As the game is still currently a Kickstarter project, Mina is still in early production--so no planned release date just yet. "We want your feedback, collaboration, and support in making Mina the Hollower the best game it can possibly be," Yacht Club Games director Alec Faulkner said during the livestream. "That's why we're returning to our roots and kicking off Mina the Hollower's development as a Kickstarter campaign."

Yacht Club Games is still supporting most of the game itself, but crowdfunding will assist the team in making a more expansive game. "We hope we can create a more expansive game this way," Faulkner said. "More importantly, we want to build a community around Kickstarter, much like we did with Shovel Knight."
