Hollow Home Kickstarter Closes at 140% — Twigames’ Ukraine Siege Survival RPG Adds Xbox to Its Launch Platforms

Twigames’ Hollow Home — the Kyiv-developed narrative survival RPG about 14-year-old Maksym surviving the early days of a besieged city — has closed its Kickstarter campaign at $21,023, exceeding its $15,000 goal by 40%. The 20-day campaign ran July 27 through August 24.

The campaign’s conclusion brought a platform announcement: Hollow Home will release simultaneously on PC (Steam and Microsoft Store) and Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One. The game is supported by Microsoft’s Xbox Developer Acceleration Program. Target remains H2 2026.

What the Funding Adds

The first stretch goal achieved unlocks two new in-game costumes for protagonist Maksym. The funding beyond the base goal goes toward additional development rather than core production — the game was already in development with Crunchy Leaf Games (Berlin) committed as publisher.

The Ukrainian Radio Archive Addition

A significant new content announcement accompanied the campaign closure: Twigames has partnered with Ukrainian Radio (the country’s public broadcaster) to embed actual radio archive recordings from the early days of Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022 into the game. These are real broadcasts from the moment being depicted — not recreations, but the actual audio that Ukrainians heard in real time as events unfolded.

This addition is significant for what Hollow Home is trying to do. The game was already built around 600+ documented records and diaries from Mariupol residents. The radio recordings extend this documentary foundation with the specific ambient reality of what information was reaching people during those days — the broadcasts that shaped what ordinary civilians understood to be happening and what they didn’t know yet.

The Context

This coverage ran a full preview of Hollow Home in late July when the Kickstarter campaign launched, examining the game’s design in detail — the no-combat narrative survival structure, the 14-year-old’s perspective, the Resolve management system, the branching endings, the 97% positive demo rating, and what it means that the team making this game was displaced from Kyiv while making it.

The Xbox expansion and the Ukrainian Radio partnership are the material developments since that coverage. The demo remains on Steam. The game targets H2 2026 for full release.
