I'm very hyped up by the development in Episode 3! I usually don't play alternate choices when I finish an episode because I enjoy the mystery of only knowing what happens in one route but I simply had to try out some other options. (And also because I wanted to see if I could change the fate of one character :') ) Now I have to erase what I know from the second branch when making decisions in Episode 4.
I'm really impressed by the game's structure and the dedication of the developers to make many of the choices matter. Not a lot of games can deliver that as it is a long process.
The themes of the game are also very interesting and important. Sexuality, gender identity, individual and generational trauma as well as privilege to name but a few. Anyone playing should be able to identify with a part of the game.
Many thanks for such a gem, I will definitely support any other games that come after
episode 3 is absolutely horrifying! thanks, i hate it!
(but it's amazing, i love it & this is everything i wished for with this game. a lot of titles that eke into the genre are afraid of going too far i think? how deeply unsettling the game is is amazing, the visual style of some of the scenes (looking at u library house) is perfect, and i'm excited to see how the plot develops!)
Hi! If you don't grab the flashlight Duke can't get a good shot in before the Ditchling jumps on him. The choice is between him or Gretchen. (Or both if you have a certain trait)
Not sure if I was the only one to experience this but I was unable to open this game on a mac. I had to physically go through the package contents, create an autorun file and rearrange other files in order to make it work. Just thought of giving you a heads up!
Just bought this two nights ago. My god, this was such a phenomenal experience. I just loved everything about it, the art style, the music and sound, the writing, everything. It pulled me in within the first 5 minutes and didn't let go till I was at the end of Episode 2. I can't wait for the rest of the episodes and to dig deeper into this wonderful horror story!
There are a lot of amazing recent horror narrative games like Tiny Bunny, Sally Face, and My Beautiful Paper Smile to name a few, Scarlet Hollow fits nicely in the group of stellar horror narratives.
Delightfully creepy! I can't wait for the next parts! Love the characters and how the story is coming together. I'm going to have to play this again with different traits.
Just a heads up there is a broken image of Kaneeka towards the middle of the game. Trying to avoid spoiler in a public comment it's around the time you meet the teens.
Hello! In the description you mention that we can "buy a key on this page," unfortunately I don't see that option in the browser version, and if I use the itchio app, it has a purchase now option, but it takes you to a broken link saying the page cannot be found! Not sure if it's a bug or what have you, but I definitely would like to buy the pass when it is available!
Hey there! Sorry for the confusion. You'll be able to buy a key on this page once the build with Episode 2 goes live on June 11th! If you'd like to pre-purchase now, you can do so through our BackerKit page.

Episode 3 was so delightfully surprising!

Okay thank you so much!

Generally right clicking the .app file and forcing it open is enough. Mac os tends to have issues trusting games downloaded on itch :(
Episode 3 let's gooooooo
I bought this game on itch, is there any plans for a steam key to be included (for the achievements)
This is the question; I'd definitely buy if I could get it through Itch with a Steam key.

Not super in love with downloading and saving across multiple executables. I’d prefer one big download.
That said, I’m totally into the art and concept!
Episode 1 is a separate executable because it's a free demo.
Cool, so Ep 3 will increment this?
Yep
Just played the 2nd episode I'm so into this... can't wait for the next ep!

Incredible game! I had such a great time with episode 2 and these updates can't come soon enough.
I already bought mine in itch io. Is it possible to get steam key for this game as well?

Yay! So glad you had fun!
