NCS Game Notes
» Horo's in his room when the game starts. There's a television, a bed, desk, and a couple of bookcases. To pan slightly to the left, tap and drag the touch screen to the right and a cat may be seen lying on the bed. Time Hollow is a touch-investigation game where objects are tapped to determine their relevance or lack thereof in the adventure. At one point, Horo's hand is lifted up to show multiple red scratches on his skin.» There's not much to do in the room so you'll want to leave but simply tapping on the "EXIT" icon on the upper right corner of the screen won't do it. Events must be triggered before you're allowed to proceed so tap on the two green books located on the right of the screen and then tap on the table to trigger two separate events. Next, tap on the "EXIT" icon to go downstairs and join Horo's parents for dinner. » The centerpiece on the table is a large salad and what appears to be a meatloaf entree is situated in front of Horo and his parents. Dad's got a beer, mom's got tea, and Horo's got what's probably a carbonated beverage. A bottle of soy sauce and another bottle containing salt are near Horo. » Talk to dad, Wataru. Talk to mom, Aki. Talk to dad again. Talk to mom who's asks you to pass the salt. Dad gets perturbed and leaves the table. That's your cue to excuse yourself and head back to your room for a short while. Outside, a dark stranger has caused Horo's cat to go on alert... Tap on the window to open it and then head downstairs again where a visitor has arrived. After dad has a conversation with their caller, Horo rejoins his parents at the table. » After speaking to mom, Horo returns to his room. To go to sleep, tap on the cat to make it leave and then tap on the bed. The lights go out and the Sandman takes over. » A fitful sleep awaits Horo where a younger version of himself and his parents are caught in an inferno. A time tunnel appears with Horo's voice screeching as Dad carries Mom into the tunnel where they disappear. Horo's cat greets him when he wakes up and a time tunnel may view seen near his bed. Horo also notices the scratches on his right hand are gone. Later, he realizes his parents are gone...
