Hey folks! While we're hard at work on Episode 3, we didn't want to leave you hanging with no new Scarlet Hollow content in this, the spookiest of all months, so we took some time to make some changes we've wanted to make for quite a while. Also, in case you missed it, Episode 2 came out back in June! You can grab it on our early access page! Buying the early access build gets you Episode 2 now, and Episodes 3-7 as free updates as they come out! If you want a ~full~ list of changes in this update, including updates for Episode 2 specifically, please take a look at that page's patch notes.

• Buffing underpicked traits. One of our goals with this patch was to give some much needed attention to traits that weren't quite hitting the mark for us. While every trait has some changes, we felt that Powerful Build, Street Smart, and Hot needed to feel better to play.
• Added more romance content for Hot. If you're more interested in the dating and romantic side of Scarlet Hollow, there are some fresh incentives to pick it as one of your traits.
• Removed the brick wall barring access to the forbidden wings in Episode 1.
• Powerful Build has more opportunities to live up to its namesake.
• Reworked trait descriptions to make them more accurate to their effects in the game.
• Several new art assets tied to buffed traits.
• Be allergic to peanuts if you want?
• New achievements!
• You can no longer have an empty string as your character name or hometown.
• General edits and typo/style corrections.
• Improved keyboard navigation so that arrow keys simultaneously scroll the choice menu and move between options. Don't forget that the October fan art competition is still going on! And if Discord is your thing, feel free to join the growing Scarlet Hollow community on our server. Episode 3 is coming along really well, and we can pretty comfortably say it should be ready somewhere between late January and early February. And it's gonna be a banger, y'all.
