Back in December 2019 when pokemon sword and shield released, me and my brother received our switch. During the Christmas season, my cousin gifted me a digital copy of the game Hollow Knight. Though I never ended up getting pretty far (Me and my brother got stuck on hornet) I remember really liking the game and enjoying the hand-drawn environments. Hollow knight played a big part in my life, and even though I didn’t touch it for another 2 years, I greatly enjoyed coming back to the game Now, I still haven’t beaten the game, but I’m much farther than I was before. I’m still not super far into the story (I suck at video games in general) but hollow knight has played a huge part of who I am and who I strive to be. Me and my lovely partner bond over our love of the game, even if soulmaster makes me want to hurl my switch across the room. Throughout my love of the game, there has been one character who sticks out to me. Hornet. Daughter of the pale king and Herrah the beast, she has been my favorite character in the game for a long while. Her striking red cloak, the needle, the SHAW! Everything about her from her personality to her role in the story has fascinated me. When I learned about silksong, I was enamored. A game, featuring hornet, beautiful as the original hollow knight, was on the horizon? I was hooked. I’ve been so excited to see what Silksong has to offer, and now more than ever I feel that excitement for the game. Thank you, team cherry, for shaping myself through your wonderful indie game. I wish you nothing but love, and appreciation of your work and characters. - Woofbee, bug enjoyer.
