Hollow Vigil

A paranormal chat horror

Sarah is texting you. She's alone in a house at 2:47 AM, and she just heard her own voice answer from upstairs.

Hollow Vigil is a branching narrative thriller told entirely through your phone's messages. Reply to Sarah, choose what she does next, and decide what you're willing to repeat back to whatever is inside the walls with her.

The vigil

Five chapters. One night. The choices you don't make at 2:47 are the ones it makes for you.

Common questions

My save disappeared.  Hollow Vigil keeps a single local save in your iPhone's Application Support folder. iOS may clear it when storage is low or after offloading the app. If your save is gone, starting a new vigil preserves any endings you've already unlocked.

The clock froze in the chat.  That's intentional. Trust it.

I missed a choice.  Hollow Vigil is real-time — silence is also a choice. Tap the chat to skip the typing animation faster.
