Set to release later today, Mina the Hollower is a retro Zelda-like indie game from the developers of Shovel Knight. It is on track to become the highest rated game of the year.
Before anyone goes and spends money on this (frankly mediocre looking) game, be aware that the developers, Yacht Club Games are turbowoke. They donated tens of thousands of dollars to a laundry list of leftist orgs including BLM, NAACP, and bail relief funds (aka funds to release violent black criminals back into the community).
Also worth noting: they created a gender swap mode for Shovel Knight in order to assuage their own guilt over choosing a male protagonist for their breakout hit. Of course Mina the Hollower uses a female protagonist from the jump. Some users have requested a gender swap for their new game, but apparently that's just not on the table. Imagine that.
This might sound dumb, but I looked at it and while it's only somewhat in my wheelhouse, I wouldn't have bought it because the main character is some sort of furry thing. I just get a faggot Link to the Past vibe from it anyway.
Yeah the game might be alright, but I definitely don't see it being as popular because Shovel Knight is a fantastic character design and this mouse is just furry.
The mouse design is sauceless. Even Moushley had cuter appeal, and that was just a Resident Evil 4 meme.
I think it's partially the ambiguous nature of the design. If the game didn't tell me she was supposed to be a girl mouse, I wouldn't be able to tell. Not that she needs a big bow and eyelashes, but literally nothing about her shape or outfit implies any kind of femininity.
