Trapped in the dying Appalachian mining town of Scarlet Hollow for the funeral of your estranged aunt, you quickly find yourself at the center of a dark mystery that threatens your life and the fate of an entire town. Who lives, who dies, and the fate of an entire town rests on your shoulders.

Features

A heavily branching narrative where your choices matter. The relationships you forge and the decisions you make will dramatically alter your journey.
Terrifying and funny. Charming characters and snappy dialogue flip to pulse-pounding horror at a moment's notice.
A complex relationship system that changes how characters act around you. Characters don't just like or dislike you. Become friendly rivals, bitter adversaries, best friends, or mild acquaintances with everyone in town based on how you approach the story.
Trait-based dialogue and role-playing. Scarlet Hollow's dialogue system is driven by role-playing elements that let you choose who you want to be. Are you quiet and observant? Hot and clueless? 21 different character builds change how you interact with the world and how your story unfolds.
Original monster designs inspired by Appalachian myths and cryptids. You won't find any predictable vampires or zombies here.
Five romance options. Whether you're into goths, dads, Youtubers, mysterious recluses, or lo-fi beats to study and water your plants to, we've got all your bases covered.
Dozens of meticulously hand-drawn and traditionally inked backgrounds. Every background in the game is drawn by hand and inked on massive 19x24 inch paper.
Hundreds of immersive sprites. Each major character has dozens of hand-drawn sprites that interact with backgrounds and capture a full range of lighting, emotion, environment, and outfit changes.

Small Price Increase in January (Does Not Affect Current Owners!)

Hey folks!

After talking to a bunch of our mentors and thinking about the expanding scope of Scarlet Hollow, we've decided to do a small price increase in January following the Steam Winter Sale. The base price of the game will be increasing from $19.99 USD to $24.99 USD (alongside small updates to regional pricing to reflect Steam's updated guidelines/recommendations there). This price change will also help position us better for future console ports. (Nothing to announce there yet, but it's definitely something we've been actively thinking about)

Since we're not doing paid DLC, this price change won't affect any current owners, nor will it affect anyone who purchases the game before these changes go live. But we're making this announcement in advance, because we wanted to make sure that folks had a significant heads up/buffer time before this change, so if you're someone who's been on the fence about picking up the game early, you'll still have multiple opportunities to buy it at a discount before price changes go into effect.

On top of the current Episode 4 launch discount, we'll be running the same 20% sale during the Steam Winter Sale, so plan accordingly!

Thank you all so much for your support!
Tony and Abby

(p.s. thank you to everyone who's helped get the Wayne plush funded over the past week. It's going into production in 5 days, so there's still a chance to pick one up, if that's your thing .)
