The director at Yacht Club Games has revealed how the studio arrived at the $20 price point for its newly released action-adventure title, Mina the Hollower.
Sean Velasco told Bloomberg that he wanted to encourage as many people to buy the game at launch as possible, rather than wait for a drop in price.
“We don’t want the price to be something that anyone is even going to question,” Velasco said.
“We only get one chance at this. That’s also why it was $20. We don’t want people to wait.”
Velasco admitted in late 2025 that Mina the Hollower was a “make-or-break” project for Yacht Club. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that he has high hopes for the game’s sales.
“If we don’t sell a million copies, I’m going to be disappointed,” he said.
Mina the Hollower’s full, four-hour soundtrack was released for free online last week, with a total of 96 Game Boy-style tracks.
Nintendo Wire’s glowing review of the game reads: “Yacht Club Games has outdone itself with Mina the Hollower, managing to craft a game that continued to draw me in the more I played it, leading me to while away the hours until I’d burrowed my way into every nook and cranny I could find.”
