Indie Game titles have just gotten bigger with the addition of "Hollow Knight." The Kickstarter game project developed by Team Cherry will be out on Steam on February 24.

Despite its humble beginnings, "Hollow Knight" is drawing quite the chatter. Aside from taking a nostalgic trip into the Metroid universe, the game has a unique appeal. It is designed and developed by a group of a group of friends that quit their jobs in pursuit of creating an indie title.

The release trailer has almost reached 100,000 views after a day. Team Cherry also announced the development of a Nintendo Switch version of the game. However, unlike the PC and Mac version that will be released later this month, there is still no definite release date for the Switch console.

According to the game's Steam page, it sets players as the "Hollow Knight." They must delve and explore the kingdom of Hallownest to uncover its mysteries, including the disappearance of villagers and explorers that went into the kingdom.
