Supporting NPCs
The secret vendor in the Whispering Grove is the only shopkeeper in the game, selling upgrade materials and consumables. Other Mina the Hollower characters include ghostly apparitions of former island inhabitants, visible only through the lore tablet visions. These apparitions provide context for the curse's progression. The merchant character has a unique dialogue tree that changes based on how many lore tablets you have collected — returning to him with new tablets unlocks additional dialogue.
Character connections
The true ending reveals that The First Hollower was once a mentor figure in Mina's guild, making the final confrontation deeply personal. This connection between Mina the Hollower characters adds emotional stakes to the story.
