Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Definitely not human... or is it?


  • The Robotic Reveal of a Hollow Child is ALWAYS a scary moment, particularly for the Hollow Child itself.
  • Yoshiki's reveal as a Hollow Child is probably the most horrifying in the entire game. The slasher smile and evil red glowing eyes that dance around independently of one another might have something to to with it.
  • The whole sequence with Dan, Shindo and Detective Kurosawa in the basement of the Amada building. Three humans vs HUNDREDS of zombie-like defective Hollow Children. Considering they're rejected/defective versions of robots who believe themselves to be human, it's quite possible they have the mentality of a rejected/defective human. That is to say, they're homicidally insane.
  • Shindo's last meeting with Yoshiki, or to clarify, his meeting with a bunch of crazed robot-zombie duplicates of Yoshiki with human faces and skeletal bodies. Uncanny Valley to the Nth dregree.
  • Hollow Children are the ultimate infiltration agents - and they could be anywhere. Given that one Hollow Child became Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff - it passed all the background checks and vetting that needed to take place - you can't be sure you're not surrounded by them.
  • Forget the fact that he's a crazy Beta Test Baddie who is responsible for all the horror relating to Hollow Children by virtue of being their creator, what's really scary about the Amada AI is what was done to him. Imagine how you'd turn out if your "father" essentially tortured you from birth.
