The Asylum Holds Its Secrets

[h2]
Gwen’s Investigation at Bordon Downs Asylum[/h2][p][/p][p]We’ve just uploaded two new screenshots from Hollow Mire, a glimpse into Gwen Porter’s path through the asylum.[/p][p]In the first, Gwen finds herself at Bordon Downs Asylum for the Insane. Against the backdrop of screams echoing down the corridors, she examines a murder scene, forced to piece together what happened in a place where truth and delusion intertwine.[/p][p]


[/p][p]The second screenshot drags us below, into the dark, damp basement of the asylum. Among the dripping pipes and scattered debris, Gwen hunts for clues that may reveal where a missing patient has gone… though every step deeper feels like it leads further away from safety.[/p][p]

[/p][p]These scenes show just one thread of Hollow Mire’s dual narrative, where the search for answers demands walking into places that resist being understood.[/p][p]We’ll be sharing more of Gwen’s journey soon. For now, take a closer look at these screenshots and let us know your thoughts in the comments.[/p][p]– The Hollow Mire Team[/p]

Three Faces You’ll Meet in Hollow Mire

[p]Every story in Hollow Mire begins with a face.
Some you’ll trust. Some you won’t. And some will stay with you long after you’ve left.[/p][p] [/p][p]Frank Turpin -

Age - 65
Bio - A 65-year-old groundskeeper, shaped by years of quiet village life. Fond of cats, less so of people.

John Rowe - [/p][p]Age - 34
Bio - War hero turned investigative journalist, burdened by the weight of what he’s seen. Loves a good story, but fears the truths that hide in the unknown.



Gwen Porter -

Age - 24
Bio - A wily, determined London detective with a sharp eye for detail. Thrives in the bustle of the city, but the stillness of the countryside sets her on edge.

[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]We’re sharing these portraits during Steam’s Debut Festival (August 7 – August 11, 2026), where Hollow Mire will be featured alongside other first-time titles.[/p][p]If you’d like to follow our progress and help Hollow Mire reach more players, please consider adding it to your wishlist.[/p][p]💛 Wishlist Hollow Mire[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]

Dev Note #2: Visual Update - Portrait Unveiled – Meet Frank

[p]Hey everyone,[/p][p][/p][p]We’ve just added the first of the new portraits to the game, one of several character reveals planned over the coming weeks.

This one is for Frank, the groundskeeper at Breken House.
[/p][p]You’ll meet Frank early on, at a quiet rural station in the middle of nowhere. He’s waiting there when you arrive. Don't expect a warm welcome. Just a nod and a heavy silence that sets the tone for your journey through the snowy Devonshire roads to Breken House.[/p][p]
This new portrait aims to capture who Frank is beneath the surface, distant, quiet, and weighed down by a history he won’t speak of.

He’s been part of the estate longer than anyone else, and his presence will set the tone for the night to come.
[/p][p][/p][p]We’ll be sharing more snippets of the world like this soon, little pieces, one at a time, as we get closer to the new trailer and start unveiling the bigger picture.
[/p][p]Thanks again for following along so early. It makes a real difference. And if you haven’t yet, please consider hitting that ⭐ Wishlist button, it helps the game more than you might think.
