Time Hollow is an adventure game. You play as a high school student. The day before your 17th birthday, your dad tells you that he has something important to tell you, the next day. That night, you see a dream. In the dream, you’re a child and you’re surrounded by fire, and your parents disappear. You wake up and the world has changed so that your parents actually disappered 12 years ago, and you also come into posession of a mysterious item called the Hallow Pen. This allows you to open holes into the past and change past events. This is the key to figuring out what happened to make the world suddenly change. The main character’s name is Horo Tokio.
The gameplay system works like this: someone changes the past, causing an incident to occur. You speak to people and find out what changed and what needs to be fixed. By using the “hollow pen,” the main character can draw a circle anywhere in the world and jump back into the past to fix it.
Time Hollow is set for 2008 winter release in Japan
