Deep Hollow is a quiet, glowing template for things that live in the dark — crystal logs, sound studies, and the occasional very large beetle.
Begin the DescentThree rooms, three moods. Bring a light source. Or don't — the crystals handle that.
Walls lined with crystal clusters that hum faintly at 40Hz. No one knows why. Everyone agrees it's nice.
Say something here and it comes back changed — slightly kinder, slightly delayed. Acoustically perfect, emotionally unpredictable.
A hole that goes further down. We have not measured it. We are not going to. Some things stay theoretical.
A log of progress, kept loosely, by whoever remembered to write it down.
Daylight still reaches here. Mostly used for storing gear and pretending the dark part hasn't started yet.
Where the glow starts. Everything past this point requires no flashlight and a moderate tolerance for silence.
Sound behaves strangely here. A dropped pebble takes four full seconds to stop being heard.
Current frontier. Progress paused indefinitely, by mutual and somewhat nervous agreement.
"It's quiet down here. Loud, too. Both, somehow."
