Why Mobile Matters for Silksong Players

Many Hollow Knight fans prefer playing on handheld devices like the Nintendo Switch, or simply want to check the map while away from their main gaming setup. Traditional desktop map experiences don't translate well to small screens, leading to frustrating pinching, zooming, and cramped interfaces.

That's why we built a mobile-first experience that feels natural on your phone or tablet.

Instead of cramming the desktop version onto your phone, we created a specialized mobile interface that prioritizes the most important functions:
