300,000 copies sold in its first three days made "Mina the Hollower" an early commercial hit after its May 29 release, developer Yacht Club Games said.
Strong sales paired with standout reviews for the highest-rated game of 2026 so far, studio co-founder Sean Velasco said, giving the indie developer more financial breathing room.
Yacht Club now expects to keep operating without staff cuts or outside investment, at least for now, underscoring how unusually strong the launch has been for an independent title.
