Hollow Knight: Silksong is a 2D action Metroidvania game. It is the sequel to the 2017 Hollow Knight. The game takes place in Pharloom, a new insect kingdom distinct from Hallownest, the setting of the first game. Pharloom is depicted as a land of verticality, with regions such as mossy caverns, gilded cities, moors, crypts, and a citadel at the kingdom's peak. The world is populated by both friendly non-player characters and hostile creatures. The protagonist is Hornet, a recurring character from the original game. At the beginning of the story, Hornet is captured and taken to Pharloom. Her journey is described as a pilgrimage through the kingdom, where she seeks to ascend to the citadel and uncover mysteries tied to her origin and the land’s history. The narrative expands through environmental storytelling, quests from various inhabitants, and lore tied to Pharloom’s culture of silk and song.
