About Drake Hollow
Answering a mysterious crow’s call, you find yourself trapped in The Hollow, a shattered mirror of our world. The game is a third‑person, co‑op survival‑building adventure where rescuing Drakes, rebuilding their homes, and driving out hostile forces are the core objectives.
You may explore alone or with up to three friends online. Keeping Drakes happy grants buffs and gifts, while expanding the camp unlocks more food, water, entertainment, and defensive options for a thriving village.

Core Gameplay Loop
Players roam an endless, procedurally generated world populated by feral beasts and hazards. The primary tasks are to rescue Drakes, rebuild their shelters, and defend the settlement against enemies, with progress measured by village health and Drake rewards.
Waypoints can be constructed to shorten travel distances and ferry supplies back to camp. As the camp grows, additional structures become available for food, water, entertainment, and defense, supporting a larger Drake community.
- Place early waypoints near abundant resources to reduce back‑tracking.
- Balance shelter construction with defensive structures for steady progress.
