Our take on Hollow Cocoon
The premise foregrounds a family mystery and a period setting, while the playable tasks named here are hiding from a monster and collecting evidence. That contrast may matter to players expecting investigation to be the main activity rather than one part of a horror adventure.
What is Hollow Cocoon?

Minato Jinba, a college student, travels to his mother’s mountain village after learning that his grandmother is seriously ill.
