Hollow Knight is so much more than just a game to many of us, it’s been an incredible 5 year journey from that Kickstarter. We’ve made so many friends and memories in this lovely community. Thank you Team Cherry, from the bottom of our hearts! 💙

-Elegy of Hallownest-
In wilds beyond they speak your name with reverence and regret,
For none could tame our savage souls yet you the challenge met,
Under palest watch, you taught, we changed, base instincts were redeemed,
A world you gave to bug and beast as they had never dreamed.
Our cherished dreams you granted and delivered more,
But in dismay you found too late our desires had no end,
What cost to tame our savagery?
You gave your all and then gave more,
Yet desires still lay unquenched, more dreams remained, your energy.
Amongst it spread a dreadful scourge,
That forced return our aggressive urge,
And turned us back to beasts or husks,
Our souls consumed to the light above.
Within your corpse can still be heard the plaintiff cries of one,
Who took our pain, and loss, and dreams inside itself to...
Through it’s pain we found a truth that must now be confessed,
For nothing can contain such things but perfect emptiness.
