Hollow Knight(2017)
This game is suggested for ages 13+ and may contain mild thematic content. Biblical themes explored include Descent into the underworld and confrontation with death (Sheol descent narratives), The Abyss/Void as primordial chaos (Genesis 1:2 tohu va-vohu), Sacrifice of self for redemption of a fallen kingdom (Leviticus atonement theology), The hollow/empty vessel as bearer of divine purpose (2 Corinthians 4:7). We recommend parents review content before watching with younger children.
Scene-by-Scene References
The Knight's journey to save Hallownest reflects the theme of sacrifice for others, akin to the love described in John 15:13.
The ending of Hollow Knight, where Hallownest is restored, echoes the promise of no more pain and suffering in Revelation 21:4.
The decay and fall of Hallownest can be likened to the concept of sin and redemption found in Romans 5:8, where love is shown through sacrifice.
The Knight serves as a light in the darkness of Hallownest, similar to the metaphor of believers being the light of the world in Matthew 5:14.
