Mina the Hollower, an 8 bit pixel art action adventure game, is being played on a Zenith CRT TV). An orange cat can be seen pawing at the screen.
A Mega Evolved Barbaracle named November stands beside its trainer as they mean mug a street thug. The thug stares over his shoulder at the camera in smug annoyance.

A Pokemon-style world map is shown with a horizontal layout. Multiple overlapping paths are shown, and a few locations in each path have already been visited. Inaccessible paths have been greyed out. At a fork in the road, two nodes are bouncing to show that they can be the next location visited. One is clicked, and a circle is drawn around it. When the user decides that's the path they want to travel, a pin is dropped on the node and the screen transitions into a battle.
A simple Pokemon-style party menu is shown. The party itself takes about 1/5 of the left side of the screen. The rest is dedicated to an overview of the currently selected critter's level, HP, EXP, held item, and stats. The margins are inconsistent between all of this info. Three buttons at the bottom read "Stats," "Attacks," and "Move to front."
An energetic crayfish can be seen punching toward the viewer. Its body is light blue, with darker blue claws. Both claws have a large blue circle on them. Its legs, antennae, and tail are red with hints of white. Its eyes shine a bright blue, and it has what appears to be a moustache.
A dark blue pig is sitting on the ground with its arms raised. It has thick, furry eyebrows. Its large ears and coiled tail look similar to an open gas flame. It has large openings on its stomach where more fire can be seen inside.
A deer is shown zoning out. Its head and back are green with a slight leafy pattern, while its legs and face are purple. Its eyes are white with a slight distortion, and are surrounded by thick black eyelashes.
Three vibrant critters can be seen over a simple forest background. One is a deer zoning out, another is a pig with ears of fire, and the final is a crayfish punching toward the camera.
Two critters face off in a turn-based, Pokemon style battle. Both are named Sadpole. They are small, round tadpoles, encased in a bubble of their own tears.
