Its that time of year again.
The leaves are falling, its getting chilly outside, and things are about to get much more spooky.
The now-abandoned building is home to all sorts of spooks and specters…
From left to right: Eona, Aleu, Axel (as Igor), Reed, Anan’zi (as Grim), and Tsimh (as Ookie)
Haunting hours take things to a new level, Aleu Lyehga, the creator of Hollow Haven explains.
Its an immersive improv performance.
No two walkthroughs are quite the same and even two people visiting together can have different experiences.
Tsimhs character, Ookie Spookie wanted the maid dress to be her primary outfit, in metallic red.
While we were experimenting with different hats, legs, shoes, etc, I suddenly had an idea.
Shes wearing plain cotton tights and the best mans gaiters, both dyed soot (matte) black.
If you want to visit during haunting hours, theHollow Haven Discordadvertises when these are currently live.
Even if you cant swing by during these times, Hollow Haven is still a must-visit.
During off hours, players can take their time roaming and exploring, Aleu tells me.
Every housing slot counts, so I check that the items are placed with varying degrees of difficulty.
From there, the idea grew, and the Hollow Haven website and Discord were created.
Up until that year, the house just was, Aleu tells me.
Then certain friends of mine wanted to get involved.
I recently visited, using first-person view as recommended, and enjoyed the incredible details in this spooktastic venue.
Making things spooky is a combination of visuals and audibles, Aleu says.
Lighting, or lack thereof, is very important.
Sometimes less is more.
Placement matters, too.
The blood puddles are really simple!
Theyre Pudding Throw Rugs.
The various Pudding furniture items make disgusting squishy sounds when you walk across them.
With a bit of Dalamud Red Dye, your brains draw exactly the conclusion I want them to.
I also use them for mud puddles.
Sometimes they morphed into portraits of entirely different characters.
There are two methods I use, Aleu explains.
The idea is that this place is supposed to be as far as you’re able to go.
