"You can’t just walk up and play Time Hollow at Tokyo Game Show. Konami has prospective players wait in a line, walk into a foggy room with a few green lights to see the concept trailer and then you can play the game. The whole dog and pony show ate up about 45 minutes of time, but it was worth it.
The demo begins with an anime introduction and then you step into the shoes of Horo Tokio who is presently in school and briefly explains about that he has this mysterious hollow pen that allows him to make holes into time. Horo talks to two of his classmates about the previous day and the chat is saved as a flashback. Flashbacks are key events that let Horo use the hollow pen to enter back in time and change the past."

"On the Tokyo Game Show floor, we got to spend some time with Konami's newly announced DS adventure game, Time Hollow. The main character Horo Tokio is a high school student with a glowing green instrument known as the Hollow Pen, which cuts through the fabric of time. Though the story specifics are vague at the moment, and what little information available on the show floor is almost entirely in Japanese, what we do know is that you must use the pen's magic to see into different times for clues on how to change bad events."

"TOKYO--Konami announced a new adventure game for the DS called Time Hollow at its pre-TGS press conference yesterday, and today we played the game in the company's sweltering booth on the show floor. The somewhat sci-fi-tinged premise here revolves around a schoolboy (you) named Horo Tokio who obtains a pen which can reveal the past and otherwise change history in order to affect events or solve mysteries in the present. This uncanny pen is an obvious gameplay metaphor for the DS' stylus, but it looks like the game mechanics will provide for quite a unique adventure when the game hits retail."

"One of Konami's surprise unveilings at this year's TGS was its newest adventure gaming foray on the DS, Time Hollow. On the surface, Time Hollow is two parts Japanese high school drama simulator to one part Trace Memory or Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Konami has gone out of its way to make Time Hollow their next big DS adventure title, turning your humble DS' stylus into a tool that can manipulate the fabric of time. Time Hollow was created by Suikoden's Junko Kawano and acclaimed novel and screenwriter Takehiko Hata."
