Backer Lore document

This is the original lore doc given to Kickstarter backers to help them design their characters. Since this was made before much of Hollow Knight's in-game content, it should be taken with a grain of salt. However, any info gleaned from this document that doesn't directly contradict any in-game evidence likely still holds water.

Hollow Knight Demo assets

The demo for Hollow Knight was released in 2015 for Kickstarter Backers and it was part of a Humble Bundle right before the game’s release in February 2017. It contains certain assets like sprites, audio, text, and cutscenes. If these assets are not used in the final game, they may not be canonical.

Hollow Knight Old Press Kit

When Team Cherry’s blog was launched in 2014, it contained a press kit with downloadable screenshots and gifs. This was eventually replaced by a Google Drive folder. However, the old screenshots and gifs could still be found in the backend of the blog. These eventually became inaccessible in 2021 when Leth redesigned the blog. The images and gifs are from very early in development.
