Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about The Last House on Hollow Street, branching endings, clue hunts, jump scare settings, and offline gameplay.
Is The Last House on Hollow Street really free?
Yes. The complete game — all 59 voiced passages, six of the seven endings, procedural soundscapes, fear meters, and save states — is 100% free with no ads and zero data collection (the app has no internet permissions).
An optional $2.99 Director's Cut expansion unlocks the path to the secret seventh ending, the interactive visual Story Map showing all branches walked, and the Caretaker's Account audio feature.
How many endings does Hollow Street have?
There are seven distinct endings, including one secret ending. The title screen HUD dynamically tracks which ones you have discovered. Every ending is voiced, and at each conclusion the house actively speaks to your choices.
How do I unlock the secret seventh ending?
The Director's Cut opens the door to the secret ending, but you must still earn it through gameplay:
1. Discover all seven hidden clues across the Blackwood estate.
2. Pay close attention to what the house tells you at your other endings.
3. Manage your fear meter carefully during the final confrontation.
How scary is the game? Can I turn off jump scares?
It is crafted as atmospheric haunted-house horror — focusing on dread, suspense, darkness, and implied peril rather than gore or on-screen violence (rated 13+).
Jump scares can be completely disabled in the title settings at any time. When disabled, scary visual flashes and sudden audio stingers are suppressed throughout the entire narrative.
Does Holiday Paths work offline?
Entirely. Both the Progressive Web App (PWA) and Android app cache all story passages, illustrations, and audio assets on your device. You can play seamlessly in airplane mode with no internet connectivity.
What happened on Hollow Street in 1987?
On Halloween night 1987, three teenagers — Sarah Bell, Tommy Reyes, and Jack Aldous — took the neighborhood dare to enter the abandoned Blackwood estate and never returned. Thirty-nine years later, staying until midnight and solving what happened to them is the core objective.
What is the Holiday Paths anthology?
Holiday Paths is an interactive seasonal mystery anthology by Red Planet Apps. The anthology continues with The Family Recipe (releasing November 1, 2026) followed by Stranded at Winterfell Lodge, a winter locked-room whodunit mystery.
