You arrive in Scarlet Hollow, North Carolina, expecting a subdued week helping your cousin through her mother’s funeral. Instead you find sealed coal mines, strange creatures picking off livestock, and houses haunted by angry spirits. Every day brings new nightmares. Your goal is simple: survive seven days and unravel the town’s dark secrets before they destroy you.

The story unfolds across seven episodes (the first four are available now, with future chapters arriving as free updates). Along the way you’ll discover:

• A truly branching narrative. Every choice you make—and every relationship you build—shapes how the story plays out.
• A deep paranormal mystery. Explore abandoned mines, creepy woods, and haunted homes to piece together what’s been unleashed on Scarlet Hollow.
• RPG-style character traits. Pick from 21 different builds (quiet observer, impulsive fool, animal whisperer, and more) to unlock unique dialogue options and alter your path.
• A dynamic relationship engine. Townsfolk don’t just like or dislike you—they can become friends, rivals, or something in between based on your actions.
• Original monsters drawn from Appalachian folklore.
• Horror driven by dread and atmosphere, not cheap jump scares.
• Optional romance. Pursue bonds with goths, paranormal investigators, recluses, even literal monsters—or skip romance altogether without missing out on the main story.
• Hundreds of hand-drawn, traditionally inked backgrounds by Ignatz-winning artist Abby Howard.
• Dozens (often hundreds) of character sprites to capture every emotion, lighting change, and outfit swap.

Scarlet Hollow can be downloaded right now—dive into its tense, choice-driven world and see if you can survive its creeping horrors.
