Hollow Knight is a Metroidvania with bugs, starring the Knight, who everybody refers to as Ghost for... reasons.

Being a Metroidvania, it means the game is focused around getting new abilities to progress further. I'd get into the lore, but it's... pretty deep. If you want to know the lore, I suggest watching the videos made by Mossbag.
