Beware the Hollow Flock
They were birds, once. Friends and neighbors. Now they walk the Roostlands with hollow eyes and slow steps, and the rot they carry whispers your friends' names. The Hollow Flock isn't one threat — it's many, and each one is its own kind of terrible.
Tap any threat to learn what stands between you and the Roost.
How to Play
Defeat the Hollow King while protecting the Roostlands from rot.
Each round has 4 phases:
1
Phase 1
Take Your Turn
Each player spends Action Points to move, strike, heal, seal a zone, use an item, or fire off one of their character's signature abilities.
2
Phase 2
The Rot Spreads
At the end of every round, corruption will increase in any zone not protected by a hero. Stay spread out to guard against the rot!
3
Phase 3
The Flock Attacks
Every zombie still standing strikes any hero sharing its zone. Tank up. Heal up. Brace.
4
Phase 4
A Story Event
Then the round closes with an event drawn from the deck — a blessing, a curse, or sometimes the rising of an ancient king.
Win Conditions
Victory
Heroes Win
Keep the Great Roost from falling, prevent too many zones from falling to corruption, and defeat the Hollow King.
Defeat
The Flock Wins
Let too many zones fall to corruption — or let the Great Roost's heart give out — and the Hollow Flock takes everything.
Built for the way you actually play
A self-contained adventure that fits an evening or a lunch break — flying solo, or rallying friends and teammates for a run you can save and finish later.
30 to 60 minutes
Fits a meeting block. Long enough to feel like a real adventure; short enough to ship before the next standup.
1 to 8 players
Solo? Sure. Whole team? Even better. Got nine people? Pair up on a character — the more the louder.
Save anytime, pick up later
Got pulled into a meeting? Time for lunch? Hit save and walk away. Your run waits exactly where you left it — same characters, same zones, same story.
No install, just a link
Runs in any modern browser. Share the URL, hit Play Now. Nobody has to download a thing.
Beautiful art and sound
AI-illustrated portraits, original cinematic music, and a fantasy world your most art-allergic teammate will still want to keep watching.
Cooperate to win… probably
Sharing items, covering each other's zones, and timing your turns together is how you beat the Hollow Flock. But when a hero is turned, the Flock offers a cursed bargain — and a quiet betrayer can swing the whole game.
Common Questions
Everything players ask before they hit Play Now.
- Nope. The game runs in any modern browser. Click Play Now and you're in.
- 30 to 60 minutes for a full run. You can save anytime and pick up later, so a long game can be split across a couple of meeting blocks if your team prefers.
- Yes — completely free to play. If you love the game and want to support more characters, zones, and music, there's a Patreon — but it's never required.
- 1 to 8 players — each pilots one bird. Play solo against the AI, or rally a full flock online. Got more than 8? Pair up and trade off the controls.
- Yes — online multiplayer is live. Host a room, share the code, and up to 8 players each join from their own browser. Cooperate to defend the Great Roost… but beware: when a hero is turned, the Hollow Flock whispers a cursed bargain, and any ally might secretly betray the team.
- This marketing site does. The game itself is built for desktop browsers — there's a lot going on per turn, and a real screen makes it sing. We'll prompt you toward desktop if you tap Play Now from your phone.
- That's exactly what it's designed for — a fantasy strategy game your remote team can actually wrap up in a meeting block, with built-in story moments your group will be quoting at standups for weeks.
- Hit save and pick it back up later. The game also gracefully handles a character being temporarily down — the rest of the flock can carry on, and there's even an ability or two designed to bring an ally back in.
