Health Warning
Please read before playing Hollow Sun.
Photosensitive seizure warning. A very small number of people may have a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that can appear in video games. Even people with no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these "photosensitive epileptic seizures" while playing video games.
If you or anyone in your family has ever had seizures or epilepsy, talk to a doctor before playing.
What Hollow Sun shows on screen
Hollow Sun contains:
- Bright white and gold flashes when heavy blows land, when bosses arrive and when rare rewards appear.
- Screen shake, fast camera moves and rapid particle effects during fights and boss entrances.
- High-contrast scenes: bright light against near-black backgrounds.
- Moving and flickering light, such as fire, embers and a pulsing eclipse.
Some card animations follow your computer's "reduce motion" setting. The flashes and screen shake listed above cannot currently be turned off in the game.
Stop playing at once if you notice
- Light-headedness or dizziness
- Altered or blurred vision
- Eye or face twitching
- Jerking or shaking of the arms or legs
- Disorientation, confusion or a momentary loss of awareness
- Loss of consciousness or convulsions, which can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects
Stop playing immediately and consult a doctor if you have any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about these symptoms; children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.
To reduce the risk
- Play in a well-lit room.
- Sit a good distance from the screen.
- Use a smaller screen, or play in a window instead of full screen.
- Do not play when you are drowsy or tired.
- Take a break of at least 10 to 15 minutes every hour.
Other health notes
Playing for long periods can cause discomfort in your hands, wrists, arms, eyes, neck or back. If you feel tired or sore, stop and rest. If discomfort continues, see a doctor.
Hollow Sun contains dark fantasy themes, including death, grief and grotesque creatures, and some loud sudden sounds.
