Mina the Hollower Steam Tips for PC Players

Controller Recommended

While keyboard controls work fine, Mina the Hollower was designed with a controller in mind. The Hollow (burrow) mechanic benefits from an analogue shoulder trigger — a button press feels more natural than a keyboard key for the quick burrow-and-resurface timing required in boss fights.

Display Scaling

The pixel art renders at a fixed base resolution and scales up cleanly to any monitor. At 1080p and above you can choose between integer scaling (sharp pixels) and filtered scaling (smoother). Integer scaling is recommended for the authentic pixel art look.

Save File Location

On Windows, save files are stored in %APPDATA%/YachtClubGames/MinaTheHollower/. Back this folder up before reinstalling or changing hardware. Steam Cloud Saves are also enabled, so your progress syncs automatically if cloud save is active.

Steam Achievements

The Steam version includes Steam Achievements mirroring the PS5 trophy list structure. All achievements unlock naturally through gameplay — boss completions, trinket collection, fishing, and New Game Plus. There are no missable achievements if you explore each region thoroughly before moving on.

About Mina the Hollower on Steam

Mina the Hollower on Steam is the PC, Mac, and Linux version of Yacht Club Games’ action-adventure. The full game includes 28 bosses, 60 trinkets, 15 sidearms, and six distinct regions on Tenebrous Isle. The Steam version is Steam Deck verified and supports Xbox, PlayStation, Switch Pro, and keyboard input with fully remappable controls. Steam Achievements mirror the PS5 trophy structure. The game uses the Hollowing mechanic — burrowing underground to dodge attacks — as its defining skill. The Astral Orrery, accessed through a network of six mirrors, is the final and most challenging region.

The Steam version receives updates simultaneously with all other platforms. For speedrunning or competitive play, Steam on a wired controller with Steam Overlay disabled offers the lowest input latency. Steam Achievements unlock automatically and sync to your profile without any manual steps.
