The Beginning Of Hollow Knight 

Shen: I know absolutely nothing about Hollow Knight. The HK community, which lives vicariously through seeing other people's first time reactions: Perfect.

Shen’s reaction to just about everything lines up with the reactions that every player who fell involve with Hollow Knight had. Including to Iselda.

Ever since I saw the stream archives of hollow knight, the void in me was furiously bouncing about, telling me “just wait, it won’t be long until there’s a vid, just hold on, it’ll be worth it” And hey, I’m glad to see the wait was WORTH IT.

My entire soul yearns for more shenpai hollow knight content

I need to just bottle up the Shen impersonating the little worm noises and keep that forever. It gives me life.

screaming, crying, throwing up, can't believe shen's finally playing this

I'm always fascinated by the different paths people take through this game. This is the first time I've seen a streamer: * kill Brooding Mawlek before Greenpath * Notice the Fool Eater's teeth on the ground before it snaps at them * Talk to Millibelle but then not enter Queen's Station * Skip the Shroomal Ogres in Fungal Wastes

Wow you're figuring stuff out FAST. Real pro gamer moves there with the spike skip and killing bosses first to third try. And your voices for the NPCs are soo good.

This can only be made better by someone turning the Shen Knight drawing into an actual mod skin for Shen to be able to use next time she plays

As a Hollow Knight vet, this was an emotional rollercoaster of a video.

If there is one thing I always enjoy is how streamers consistently make the grub noises.

HOLLOW KNIGHT!!! I know this play through is gonna be AMAZING

shen's voices are so good

Playing Hollow Knight blind, knowing nothing about it, is the best way to play. I sadly spoiled the game for myself before I played it, and I would do anything to undo that fact and play it blind. Since that can't happen, I instead opt for living vicariously through first time players, and enjoy watching every little discovery they make. This game is great, you will not regret it. So take your time exploring, and enjoy this masterpiece of a game.

I maintain that Shen killing that boss before getting the dash is one of the most impressive feats I've seen pulled off

Nothing can compare to the joy i feel when a youtuber i enjoy starts playing hollow knight and shen's voices for everyone just pure joy at experiencing this is gonna kill me

Shen being like "oh no, don't look at me I'm so bad aaaaaaahhh", and everyone is just staring at her do the skip and beat Broodling Mawlek bosses first try without movement tech 😐😑😐. I am shooketh and scared by what is to come. Awesome playthrough tho, can tell you're having a blast with it and it will be a pleasure to watch you ascend with gorb

I love how fast you took to repeating character grunts like dialogue, just like the community! ("*sigh* bapanada", "shaw!", "hadeno!", etc.)

,,, christ you're doing well for a first time player. I have 200 hours and all achievements unlocked in this game but I had to look up how to bounce on the mushrooms my first playthrough :D

I'm so happy how Shen loved the Hunter's Journal, it's my favorite part of the game an a fun little scavenger hunt as you go along. It's half the reason I started 3D modeling so I could try and replicate some of those entries. Also holy shit that voice for Leg Eater is PERFECTLY CREEPY

“I like how you can propel yourself.” *Shen will learn to hate those words*

I love how you apologize to every bit of scenery you break

Hearing Shen make the grub noises immediately reminds me of Skurry, and their "meemamaa" noise during a Bingo session 🧡

oh my god Shen, i never realized how absolutely busted your voice-acting skill is, i love it!

The only thing I dread about this is Chat being backseating asshats. Other than that, *I’ve been waiting my whole life for this moment.*

IF THIS ISNT A SERIES I WILL CRY AND THROW UP, I NEED MORE OF THIS

Shen, your child like wonder is oddly contagious. Thank you

Never in my 4 years of exposure to Hollow Knight would I hear ‘soul’ be referred to as ‘milkies’ until today

It's like watching your friend discover your favorite game and just watching as their mind explodes. It's pretty great.

Never have I had so much of Shen's "Little Guy" voice and I love it

Shen's "Ranni" voice makes me feel a very special kind of way

I love how the gibberish voices on all the characters make everyone consistently read their dialogue in the same funny voices, peak sound design!

I am so glad to see you playing Hollow Knight! Love the HK themed logo and the statistics at the end, too!

I love how everyone just instinctively gives The Stag a deep rumbly voice when they read their lines.

This influx of content has been joyful. Love seeing you uploading regularly Shen ❤

It's videos like this that make me want to go back to Hollow Knight, but then I remember I'm in the Fungal Wastes and suddenly don't want to.

Watching Shen get into every game I love is a fucking blast

I love all the versions of Viro you've drawn for games you play

Rewatching for like my fifth time, Shen you're absolutely precious in this one

I HAD NO IDEA I NEEDED THIS. AND A BLIND PLAYTHROUGH AS WELL! IM SO GLAD YOU GET TO EXPERIENCE THIS. Can't wait for the carnival. >:3333

This game holds a special place in my heart. Watching Shen experience everything again with such joy is very heartwarming for me.

I'm already so excited to see Shen react to my favorite parts of this game! This is gonna be great!!!

Man I wish I could experience this game for the first time again. Imo, this is the best Indie game out there. Such a gem

This is the play through I need in my life right now. Thank you ❤

Me: “god I can’t wait for Shenpai’s Elden Ring playthrough to continue” Me seeing this in my sub box: “AHAHHHHHHHHhhHhHhhHhHhHh”

Oh such a beautiful game... there's gonna be tears I can feel it Please don't cry at any point shen cause then I'll cry too 😢

Loving all these shen uploads recently. Been a bit unwell and these have helped keep my mind off it. Thanks for the upload!

omg I've gotten so so SO far in this game AND ONLY JUST NOW FOUND OUT YOU COULD SLASH THE SPIKES FOR MOVEMENT W A T (also great video I love how you read the dialogue)

Shen’s reaction towards everything was genuinely funny

Starting to watch you again after a few years due to your Ultrakill video, soon after followed by a Hollow Knight video, has made me very happy

Shenpai: *after unlocking walljump* "Oh the parkour is gonna get real tough innit?" *The sound of sawblades can be heard from the distance*

I'm new to Hollow Knight, too. What better way to be introduced to it than Shenpai.

Ooooo going in practically unspoiled, and with a sharp intuition? This is gonna be a FUN playthrough to keep up with.

I just started playing Hollow Knight a couple weeks ago after having bought it in a Summer Sale FIVE YEARS AGO. Literally cannot believe the timing Shen

Part of me is excited seeing a fresh set of eyes play my favorite game! but I'm also reeling at the thought Shen could go to the Path of Pain or that flower quest

we need more of this side note: dont be sad that you took alot of damage atleast you didnt spend an hour in there when i first started

"Do they make the enemy designs cute as fuck on purpose" *laughs in Deepnest*

"Hello my dearies~" and I've already melted. Thank you, Shen.

I love at 16:30 the shade icon matches up perfectly with the knight

Shen's voice acting is honestly fabulous.

YES I LOVE THIS omg I couldn't stop laughing Also massive props for the most adorable voice acting for the characters?? I'm in love

What an adorable drawing of the knight :)

Completey blind playthroughs of Hollow Knight are so rare and such a treat. Have fun with the game and don't worry too much about not finding everything, there's a LOT of stuff everywhere 😅

I love watching streamers i already enjoy playing big games like these and its like i get to experience a game i love a second first time

I caught only a few minutes of one of these streams, yet it was enough to make me try this game again. I'd gotten it a year prior and only played until Greenpath. I was always so afraid of dying because I thought money was so much more important than it ended up being. Once I stopped being so afraid to die, I was able to start enjoying it. This ended up being my first actual platformer. I've beaten most of it, but not the whole Ascension part. It's become one of my favorite games ever, genuinely. So glad I caught that little bit of that stream because it ended up kicking off me finding one of my favorite games. 🧡

Shen speaking together with the grubs is the most wholesome thing!

I played hollow Knight a while ago thanks to a recommendation of a friend. At first I thought I wouldn't like it as it didn't look like my kind of game, little did I know i would quickly fall in love with it and it becoming one of my favourite games I've ever played. Glad to see you playing this Shen and I hope you have the same amazing experience I had :) . Hope you have a wonderful day or night too

Damn Shen! Amazing job beating the Brooding Mawlek at that stage of progression. It took until i had several more upgrades before I could beat it.

I never clicked on a video so fast usually, but Im genuinely excited to see your reaction to Hollow Knight. Hope you enjoy your journey through Hallownest! Come for the asthetic, stay for the lore... and thicc bug hentai if you are into that...

Just a tip for anyone who hasn’t played the game yet, in the tutorial in King’s Pass, when you find a spike pit that seems too long to traverse with your current moveset, you can actually get across by jumping towards the spikes and proceeding to pogo hop your way to the other side by repeatedly pressing down+attack in midair, and you’ll end up getting a charm out of it!

I love how shen understood so fast how this is a game made beacuse the developers wanted to make something special and fun, not because they wanted money

It's always a nice suprise to see someone going blind into the world of Hollow Knight. There are many things to do and secrets to find ahead. Hopefully people don't spoil things, because that is part of the charm of the game.

Shen's reaction to Iselda is the same as mine.

One more please...

I wish I could play hollow knight for the first time again and the sheer reactions to some of the game just make that wish even larger, the first playthrough of hollow knight is one of the best experiences ever and I’m so happy to witness someone else have such a great time doing it

I enjoy watching you play. Hopeful for a continuation of this.

16:12 honestly fucking insane tbh. Shen really does take to difficult games insanely quick

I love how lately my feed has been filled with so many people learning about and playing Hollow Knight in time for spooky season~ Hope you enjoy the game Shen!!

holy shit shenpai's voice when she reads hornet's lines is amazing

shen playing HK is so cute, love the noises you made when you found the little worm guys it was adorable!

Team Cherry should hire you to do voice acting, you've been nailing these characters vibe friend. Edit: holy shit you took out the Brooding Mawlek like he was the trash and it was Tuesday. Nice!

you actually figured out the spike parkour thing and beat brooding mawlek before even exploring greenpath actually god gamer

I have played through this game. So many times. and can’t wait for Shen to be in pain.

i love seeing people's first reactions to this fantasic game. i think shen's the only person ive seen find the brooding mawlek so early on. hope to see more hollow knight in the future !!

I'm really exited for the next video of this, I really love this game and I know you'll find how to make it better or at least funnier

This video made me giddy the whole time. So happy to see Shen playing my favorite game of all time.

Hollow Knight is probably my favorite game of all time. Happy someone new can experience it for the first time! (and also so that I can vicariously re-experience it again too)

I am a speedrunner of this game, i watch intently as i wait to see what all skips you unintentionally do

Welcome to hollow knight! Enjoy the pain, suffering, and obsession with the game.

You've been going through some of my favorite games recently, I love the videos!!

Pointcrow when he squishes a moss guy with the rock: "a noble sacrifice, i'm sorry" Shenpai when she squishes a moss guy with the rock: "hehahehahaha"

Shens reactions are super cute to everything that is bringing her wonder in this game Excited to see this series even as someone who is going to play Hollow Knight himself soon

Just want to say I watched this on twitch, watched the vods on youtube, and now watching the condensed version. It was a pleasure to see you go through this game and I hope chat wasnt too annoying (thanks chat for runining the bank). Have a nice whatever time of day shenpai, editor, and whomever reads this!

thank you for doing this i rlly needed it

Hey I loved seeing you play this for the first time Please keep uploading these to youtube, it was so much fun

How have i never seen shenpai before in my reccomended? I vibe with this being on a cosmic scale, how
