"Upon release of the game, Hollow Knight fans took to social media to mourn the loss of Seth while celebrating the game's eventual release. "I wish so badly that we could play Silksong together," reads a post from one user who considers Seth the reason they became a Hollow Knight fan, "but I'm glad you'll still be there in some form.""
