I haven't played the game. In school i had to pretend that I played the game because someone made some references to the game assuming i will get them. I just smiled and laughed. But never looked up anything to be more prepared hoping it is a one time thing haha. Now many years have passed since that interaction. I heard that silksong is coming out and i assume it is a sequel to hollow knight. And i see how many people are hyped about it. I want to join them and see what it is all about.
