▶ Play nowWhat is Mythlings?
A cozy creature-collector with real depth underneath.
Mythlings: the Hollow is a base-building creature collector set in a keep ringed by living fog. You start with nothing but a guide and a single egg. Crack it open, and out comes your first Mythling — one of hundreds of possible combinations of five archetypes and six rarities, each with its own look, stats, and temperament.
From there the Hollow grows. You clear the fog to claim land, raise buildings that work while you're away, put your Mythlings to jobs, breed your best pairs in the hope of something rarer, and take your champions into the Trials of the Mist or the arena against other real keepers. It's the kind of game you can dip into for two minutes or lose an afternoon in.
Things to do in the Hollow
Every system feeds the next — collect, grow, and prove your keep.
Hatch & collect
Find eggs in the fog, hatch them in the Cracking, and fill a living dex of Mythlings across five archetypes and six rarities.
Breed bloodlines
Pair your best Mythlings to pass down stats, archetypes, and rare traits — and chase the jump to the next rarity tier.
Build your keep
Push back the fog, place farms, mines, and nests, and upgrade every building through eight levels as your keep climbs.
Real-time duels
Combat is a fast, skill-based lane duel — read the telegraph, block, and time your attacks. Gear matters, but so do you.
100 Trials
Climb a hundred hand-tuned Trials of the Mist toward the Sovereign, then push into the endless depths for bragging rights.
Compete & season
Battle real keepers' teams in the arena, climb the leaderboards, and chase a fresh monthly pass of rewards.
How to play
You'll be raising your first Mythling within a minute.
- Open the fog. Walk into the glowing bushes around your keep to gather coins and eggs. The guide minds your purse until you build a Keep of your own.
- Hatch your first Mythling. Take an egg to the Nursery and tap through the Cracking to meet whatever hatches.
- Build and grow. Raise a Keep, then farms, mines, and nests. Put Mythlings to work — they gather resources even while you're away.
- Fight the fog. Take a champion into a battle or a Trial. Time your blocks and attacks in the lane duel to win.
- Breed and climb. Pair your strongest Mythlings, chase rarer offspring, and push deeper into the Trials and the arena.
Questions keepers ask
Is it really free?
Yes. The whole game is free to play. There are optional gem packs and a Mythlings+ pass for players who want to support the game and skip a few timers, but nothing is locked behind a paywall and there is no bought power.
Do I need to make an account?
No. Just open the game and play — your progress saves to your device automatically. When you're ready, grab your recovery code from the Profile screen to carry your Hollow to another phone or bring it back if you clear your browser.
What can I play it on?
Any modern browser on a phone, tablet, or computer. It also installs to your home screen like an app, and an Android version is on the way.
Will my progress be safe?
Your Hollow saves locally and, online, backs itself up to the cloud. Add it to your home screen and write down your recovery code and you're covered — those two steps keep a save safe across weeks away and new devices.
How does combat work?
Battles are real-time lane duels, not auto-battlers. A telegraph warns you before every enemy hit — block it, then strike back. Your Mythling's stats and totems matter, but timing and reads decide the close fights.
