Price and editions
Mina the Hollower is $19.99 on every platform — a notably low price for a 20–30 hour adventure (and 150+ hours with full New Game Plus). At launch the confirmed offering is the standard digital edition across all platforms. A physical or collector’s edition is a frequent community ask; treat anything beyond the digital release as unconfirmed until Yacht Club Games says otherwise.
Co-op and multiplayer
There is none. Mina the Hollower is a single-player experience from start to finish.
Demo history
Before launch, there was a limited-time PS5 demo (February 13, 2026) and an earlier Steam demo. Both covered the opening through the first major boss, and progress carried over into the full game.
Background: Kickstarter and delays
Mina the Hollower’s road to release is part of its story:
- It began as a solo side project by Alec Faulkner — originally titled “Gothic” — meant to hone his coding and art, not for commercial release. Yacht Club Games adopted it as a companion to Shovel Knight.
- The Kickstarter launched February 2, 2022 and raised $1,239,584 from 21,439 backers against a $311,503 goal — over $1.4 million with other crowdfunding.
- Scope ballooned to “more total screens than the entirety of Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove,” built on Yacht Club’s custom 3D engine despite the 2D look, across roughly six years of development.
- It was set for October 31, 2025 (Halloween), then delayed — announced about three weeks before launch — then re-dated to May 29, 2026.
