The Paranormal Horror Game That Was CANCELLED..
Video summary
Press to jump
- 0:01Hollow introduces Playable Archive as a canceled project released in an unfinished archive build.
- 1:20A couple moves into a fixer-upper house in Rochester, New York.
- 6:47Jessica notices a bedroom wall's measurement discrepancy, prompting a search with a sledgehammer.
- 9:31The game switches to Detective Lamar Robbins investigating the house.
- 18:41A mini DV camcorder provides a way to examine a discovered tape; its contents follow.
A bedroom wall measures wrong. Jessica notices, a sledgehammer comes out, and Hollow's latest horror outing finds something hidden behind the drywall. So much for an ordinary renovation.
Playable Archive, introduced by Hollow as an unfinished project from the creators of The Mortuary Assistant, supplies the week's most watched upload. "The Paranormal Horror Game That Was CANCELLED.." has drawn roughly 331,000 views. Its opening follows a couple moving into a Rochester fixer-upper, before the game abruptly hands the perspective to a detective investigating what happened there.
The comments have their own unfinished business: viewers ask for a complete game, single out the voice acting and joke about Hollow looking toward the camera as though the audience might help him through the scares. No rescue party is forthcoming.
Horror accounts for much of his six-upload week, from a late office shift and an isolated gas station to found-footage nightmares in a Brazilian favela. His latest stop, CH 13 Rest Stop, sends a drive through early-2000s Poland into unsettling territory.
There is room outside the dark, too. "Its Hard To Move on From Red Dead Redemption 2.." marks the game's eighth anniversary, while "Phantom Blade Zero Just Dropped.." begins Soul's story of betrayal and a borrowed second chance at life. Hollow received an early copy from S-Game Studio. That walkthrough currently has the strongest daily momentum, followed by Playable Archive and his older full-game Modern Warfare 4 upload.
Across the channel, the week brought about four million views and an unchanged subscriber count. Daily viewing is running well below Hollow's usual pace. Nearby variety-gaming channels offer a mixed picture: FusionZGamer is above its usual daily viewing level, while GameGrumps and special edd are below theirs. For Hollow, the newest burst of activity belongs to Soul's swordplay, even in a week crowded with haunted workplaces.

My favorite part of the scary vids is when you just stare at us like “bruh” like were supposed to help you. No bro you on your own.
@ukiy2841See it on YouTubeThe voice acting is EXCELLENT. This is probably the best voice acting I've heard on such type of horror games till date

Noooo they gotta do a full game! This was freaking amazing!!
@rebelgirlgiuliaSee it on YouTubeOh, nah. They have to finish this.
@mayamonroeSee it on YouTubeThis is one of the games that have a good horror film vibe (should become a film too). The acting was good, relatable characters, graphics, and sequence of the story was unique.
@skylisszSee it on YouTubeMy wife and I frequently watch Hollow's indie horror playthroughs and we usually deal with the scares pretty well but this one was absolutely terrifying. It's a shame its unfinished, the pacing, the atmosphere and the scares are superb!
@Daggerfall40See it on YouTubeThis game is absolutely amazing! That’s what I call scary not the loud jump scares etc. the build up and the twist in the beginning of it. Hats off to the creators
