Start of my first playthrough: Acted as a respectable houseguest, made myself a PB&J, went out to town and was invited to have a lovely cup of coffee with one of the locals. Start of my second playthrough: Ate the biohazard in the ancient takeout box, stumbled to the local library, screamed at everyone inside that the place was haunted, ran outside and vomited into a bush. Conclusion: Peak fiction.

Getting Tabitha to not only like me but also reconcile with Stella might be the greatest achievement in my gaming life.

March 2025

I used to smoke meth and this game is the more difficult of the two to put down. It is possibly the best game I have ever played. It replaced my psychiatric medication and I have formed a legitimate parasocial relationship with a cartoon. I'm not exactly sure what sort of blood magick rituals black tabby are doing, but I hope they never stop. Seriously, this game is incredible. This is my first steam review. I thought this game was going to be extremely whack but I snagged it after feeling as though slay the princess had left a profound emptiness inside me that I couldnt fill with anything else. Scarlet Hollow filled it and expanded it and truly ruined everything for me. 10/10 stella is now my sleep paralysis demon and I keep having to do annoying stuff like go to my job and talk to my wife instead of rizzing up sprites and barking at ineffectual politicians.

Joke: A dating sim where there's hot women, men and a super cool nb option? Sign me up, who cares about the horrors when you get to smooch these characters? Real Review: This is one of the most expansive and reactive stories I've played while also not compromising on its tone or story. It starts only mildly unsettling but grows into something disturbing and gross while also having heart. The heart being the wonderful cast of characters present who are well executed and are unique each with their own personality.

Dec. 2024

simple equation that demonstrates why you should check out scarlet hollow immediately: [*]buying the game = profit for BTG [*]playing the game = joyous experience + desire to talk about it [*]talking about the game = coverage [*]coverage + profit = fuel for the dark demonic entities possessing BTG and forcing them to develop games [*]continued development + time = chapter 5 [*]chapter 5 = more content of dustin the opossum [*]chapter 5 + coverage = more people will get to see more dustin the numbers don't lie. it's only fair
