Team Cherry – an indie games team comprised of 3 people that is based in South Australia – has revealed its first game, Hollow Knight. Hollow Knight is described as a challenging, beautiful action adventure game set in the vast, inter-connected underground kingdom of Hallownest.
“A 2D action game with an emphasis on skill and exploration, Hollow Knight has you fighting a fearsome host of deadly creatures, avoiding intricate traps and solving ancient mysteries as you make your own way through fungal wastes, forests of bone, and ruined underground cities.”
