PREVIEW: Wildhollow!

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Our next preview is a game called Wildhollow by KarjaSoft.  Now they bill this as an adventure game however it’s not strictly a traditional old school “graphic adventure”.  It seems to have some simulation type elements as well, such as breeding animals and stuff.  It is, from the looks of it, point and click though.  I’ll have to be honest here, as much as I hate anime and manga, this actually graphically looks on point for the style, and the backgrounds look pretty good too.

Here’s a teaser video for you:
