ERROR

../LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight is not accesible

Details:

The 'hollow_knight-Data' folder is corrupt and cannot be opened

OK

She frowned and clicked 'OK'.

She tried to launch Hollow Knight again, but was met with the same error box: 'The 'hollow_knight_Data' folder is corrupt and cannot be opened'.

It was only a few days ago when she finished the game. It was pretty fun, definitely one of the better indie titles out there. It didn't take too long to finish though. After only about twelve hours, she had managed to kill the three dreamers, and it only took another half hour to beat the final boss.

Now that she thought about it, that was probably the lowest point of the game. After all she had gone through and all the build up, the final battle with the Hollow Knight was surprisingly anti-climatic. It wasn't even that hard, at least compared to the other boss fights in the game, like Nightmare King Grimm.

After sitting through the final cutscene of the Knight being chained as well as the (unskippable) credits, she had promptly closed the game and uninstalled it. There wasn't any deeper meaning behind that action of course - that was just what she did to all games she finished. Why keep the games installed if she had already finished them? It wasn't as if she would ever play them again. Might as well free up some memory on her computer.

So it was rather strange when one day, when scrolling through her Steam library, she had found it. Hollow Knight. Right there, under Grand Theft Auto V and above Insurgency . Instead of being greyed out, it was being displayed in plain white text, which meant that it was installed on her computer.

It was only out of pure curiosity that she had tried to run it. She hadn't really even thought about it.

'Did I forget to uninstall it or something?' She thought. 'Whatever. I guess I'll just delete it now.'

She right clicked on the game and clicked on 'Properties '. Then, she clicked on the 'Local Files ' tab and hovered her mouse over 'Uninstall Game'. She was about to click on it, but she hesitated for a second. Then two. Then three.

Why was she hesitating? Not only were the files apparently corrupt, but she had already finished the game. It wasn't as if she were missing anything other than maybe collectibles and shallow side content.

…

She quickly moved her mouse away from the button and opened Google Chrome. In the search bar, she hastily typed 'how many endings does hollow knight have?'

Three endings.

She sighed, feeling relieved for no apparent reason. It was as if she were hoping that she had more to do. As if she were holding out for an excuse to play the game again. She didn't know why - Hollow Knight was good, but it wasn't great , at least to her. Even so, it somehow came as a relief to know that she was missing endings.

Closing out of the browser, she went back to the game properties and clicked on 'Verify Integrity of Game Files '. A new box popped up with a throbber animation along with the words ' Verifying.'

'That should take care of the error.' She thought. Now, all she had to do was wait.

*A/N* Just a brief interlude/mini chapter. I had an error box made and everything but FFN doesn't let you post images so this was the best I could do lol. At least I was able to do it on AO3.
