Yacht Club Games has announced that Mina the Hollower has officially crossed 500,000 copies sold, marking a major milestone for the studio’s gothic action‑adventure.
In a celebratory post on X, the team thanked fans for playing, sharing, streaming and championing their “haughty little mouse,” adding that “the adventure is just getting started.”
The game is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC.
A Gothic Adventure With 8‑Bit Bite
Mina the Hollower drops players into a Victorian‑inspired nightmare rendered in haunting, Game Boy Color‑style visuals enhanced for modern hardware.
You play as Mina, a master digger on a desperate mission to save a cursed island. Her toolkit blends classic action with clever traversal:
- Jump, dodge and burrow underground to outmaneuver monsters
- Strike with the whip Nightstar or experiment with a full arsenal of secondary weapons
- Equip artifacts to customize abilities and shape your playstyle
The result is a fast, precise and deeply atmospheric adventure.
A World Built on Secrets and Style
Mina the Hollower stands out for its:
- Authentic 8‑bit aesthetic with modern animation and widescreen support
- Interconnected levels filled with hidden paths and dangerous foes
- Bizarre characters and unsettling lore
- Jake Kaufman’s electrifying MSX‑inspired soundtrack
- Boss battles that demand timing, strategy and mastery of Mina’s movement
It is a love letter to retro action games, but with the polish and ambition of a modern indie hit.
A Rising Star for Yacht Club Games
With half a million players already exploring Tenebrous Isle, Mina the Hollower is shaping up to be Yacht Club’s next major franchise alongside Shovel Knight.
The studio’s message hints that more updates, expansions or surprises may be on the horizon.
