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.

New Update!

Hey folks!

It's been a little while and we've got a new update for you.

Here's what's new:

A couple new short scenes to flesh out the tail end of Episode 1.
Some updated sprites.
Fixes for all of the typos and minor bugs found since late December.
Better controller support. (Still a work in progress)

While we still have plans to add an additional ending to Episode 4 as well as some extra dialogue options, we're tabling those changes for the time being they weren't quite landing right for us, and we only want to add new content when it elevates the experience. And we also don't want to spend too much time lingering on additions to Episode 4 when we've been eager to move onto what comes next.

SO! With this update published, we're now turning our full attentions to writing Slay the Princess (free demo available if you haven't had the chance to try it out) and Episode 5!

Can't wait to share more with y'all~
