A cozy fantasy shop game for iPhone and iPad

Rebuild the market. Wake the Hollow.

Zero Market is a ruin with one empty stall and a glowing key. With Pip, a pocket-sized dragon, you'll reopen the bakery, light the potion cauldrons, welcome travellers and turn Emerald Hollow back into the busiest market in seven realms.

Emerald Hollow's market square with shops, villagers and Pip
Pip, the pocket-sized dragon

Bake, brew and trade

Repair six shops, from Moonberry Bakery to the Dragonfire Forge. Upgrade them, hire managers and watch the gold roll in, even while you're away.

Emerald Hollow's market square with shops, villagers and Pip

A village that lives

Villagers walk to work, chat by the fountain and shelter from the rain. Turn on Live weather and the Hollow's sky matches the weather where you are.

The heroes of Emerald Hollow

Orders and weekly events

Neighbours ask for batches straight from your shelves and pay extra for them. Every Monday brings a new event with a decoration you can only win that week.

The orders board with villagers' requests

Decorate your corner of the world

Lanterns, arches, gazebos and a statue of Pip. Collect the Hollow Album, then share a postcard of your town with friends.

Decorating the market with lanterns and arches

A story with heart

Meet Lyra the merchant, Bram the builder, a spirit in the well and an owl with recipes in his scarf, and stand firm against Lord Null.

Big and beautiful on iPad
