About the game

Your aunt’s dead, your cousin hates you, and you’re stuck in the dead-end town of Scarlet Hollow. Choose your path through a branching narrative so dense that you'll see less than 1/5 of the game on a single playthrough. You won't be able to save everyone. Good luck, and welcome home.

Scarlet Hollow is a game where you make mistakes. Your choices will result in resentment, injury, and death. Despite this, my biggest mistake was assuming you could treat this game like any other. On my first playthrough, as soon as it became clear that flirting was an option, I chose a character to romance and figured that would be the end of it.

Girls who smell of woods and girls who smell of coal ash. Girls who have chef-level cooking skills and girls who eat…

Pros: Fantastic ambience and mood, compelling art design, moderately interesting plot and characters. Cons: Basically only works as a metagame, not as an actual game.
