Hollow Vigil
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 endings, only one of them clean
- A ritual that bleeds into your phone — silenced clocks, swapped keys, ambient texts at the wrong hour
- Trace sigils with your finger; the house remembers the ones you draw badly
- A hand-mapped haunted house you can navigate room by room as the night drags on
- One save slot. One vigil. The longer you stay, the more the story knows about you.
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.
