Mystery Awaits in Hollow Mire
Mowlo Games has announced that the demo for its upcoming psychological horror title Hollow Mire will release on December 9, 2025. Set in a snow-covered Britain still recovering from the aftermath of war, Hollow Mire presents a narrative shaped by memory, grief, and the fragile line between reality and delusion. The team introduces the game as a choice-driven experience that follows two intertwined stories.
Players step into the role of John Rowe, a World War Two veteran and journalist whose wife and daughter vanished without explanation. A new assignment draws him to the isolated Breken House, where long-hidden memories begin to resurface. This warps his sense of the world as he confronts the unresolved past.
Running parallel to his journey is Detective Gwen Porter’s investigation into a missing patient and the murder of an orderly at the harsh Bordon Down Asylum. Her search uncovers a chilling link that connects both characters and shapes the larger mystery.
The game features hand-painted environments inspired by mid-twentieth-century England, along with a dark cello soundtrack that shifts between sorrow, tension, and fear. The developers note that a fully voiced cast brings each character to life with strong performances. The studio also confirmed that players will navigate branching decisions, action-focused war flashbacks, relationship management, investigative sequences, and memory reconstruction to reach one of eight endings.
According to the team, Hollow Mire draws from a period when Britain was learning to live with loss and the lingering absence left by war, a theme that sits at the core of the story. The demo will be available on Steam on December 9, 2025, with the full PC release planned for late 2026.
