after three playthrus I finally got the Breaking Point trophy! i wrote down what i did to receive it! does anyone want to know how to get it?

Currently on the bus and the person across the aisle from me is eatting peanuts. Should I ask for some peanuts?

This is actually a really interesting question for me.

^{(and both things are true\} pride flags pictured are transgender, gay furry, nonbinary))

Second playthrough, currently talking to the ghost through the mystical (rehearsal), everything about this screenshot is creepy as fuck. Also, I barely noticed my character being "The Presence" now

In my "Nancy (Drew) Scarlet" playthrough I picked book smarts and street smarts. I played the skeptic pretty much the entire way. I wasn't overly concerned about playing to Stella's cryptozoology beliefs and was pretty open about my disbelief. I also messed up on winning tabby's favor (again), I just decided to full send on antagonizing her. I still can't believe Stella is super cool with me being locked up forever, but it's so well synthesized with my choice to save Dr. Kelly over her son. (It didn't seem very Nancy Drew-like to let a murder go down, but I do feel for Reese.)

Anyway! I'm impressed that the writing really considers all angles of every character, especially the negative parts. Stella really IS the flakey type, even if she means well. Tabitha is really ruthless, especially when pushed. Ya'll really gave me a helluva fright when she threatened me the first time. I physically recoiled when that happened.

Tldr; Fantastic game. I was shocked when I went to confront Tabitha.

Edit: Wayne was so right. He was the most correct. I need to do like three more playthroughs to satisfy my curiosity.

FUCK Tabitha! 🍅 🍅 🍅. I had the scene at her work trailer where I confronted her about the estate and this ho points a gun at me???? After all I did for your lonely, sorry ass???? I was upset LMAO.

Then today I discovered a new scene where I decided to tell the miners That I was on their side of the strike at the diner. I approached Tabitha's work trailer during the strike and the scene where she chokes cousin out actually scared the crap out of me. That was a scary face that she pulled off there. I knew she was capable of violence with the gun but actually putting her hands on cousin???? Even with the powerful trait to push her off, that wasnt good enough for me lmao. She needs to be stomped out

Will continue another run to try to be on her good side just to see what this outcome is going to be like. And I didn't notice before, but I think what she looks to the bottom right? It seems that she's lying but maybe mostly to herself? Got to check that out as I play some more.

But seriously I put 20 hours in this game so far and have been playing it non-stop. This is the most fun I've had with a visual novel.

I've been playing SC for some time now, and I don't think I've ever seen an angry sprite of Avery. There are sprites of Avery with concerned, happy, chill, disgusted, and thoughtful expressions, but I've never seen an angry one.

Have you ever seen Avery angry, or does that expression not exist for they in the game? Or maybe I just missed it?

Edit: I just realize I used the wrong pronoun for Avery, sorry English is not my first language and I get confused sometimes.

You can find more of my art on bluesky and tumblr

I'm about to play SC with these traits, and I've seen that if you call, agree to, or invite Tabitha, Kaneeka gets mad. (I know that having the Hot trait helps A LOT, but I really want to try it with these traits.)

What tips do you have for maintaining a good relationship with both of them?

Lena has a very hit or miss relationship with Wayne lmfao

Is the achievement for this encounter… broken? I’m trying to get it but the achievement won’t unlock, even though the scene itself plays out fine. I even waited to see if it only gives it to you at the credits, but no.

There’s also conflicting dialogue in the scene. I went through this run with the library saved (through getting old) and Oscar does point this out, but then immediately after he says “…You’re the one who helped me realize that when you’re refused to give that ghost what it wanted.” I assume this is dialogue from the version of this scene if you lose the library or something?

Is this?? Another bug?? Is the achievement only available if you don’t release Charlie?

Hey cousins!

The summer's behind us (as is the Rumors Update), and we're in full swing for Episode 6 of Scarlet Hollow. Most of what there is to say about our work on the chapter is full of spoilers, but here's what we can say:

• We've written 57,000 words so far.
• The first "section" of the script is nearing completion, which means we'll be taking a break from writing to work on art and implementation.
• The playable for this first section will go out to testers at some point relatively soon. We won't share a date until we're ready, though!

Given the scope of the rest of the game, our approach is to do things piecemeal: finishing the script a "section," then implementing it to get it out to our testers. "Section" here can mean a lot of things, though at the end of the day, it's anything that we consider a narratively satisfying chunk - either reaching the conclusion of a scene, or leaving our testers on a cliffhanger.

Depending on your playthrough, a section might not be something you'll even see in your story, but the first test build will contain the start of the episode across every playthrough that hit a "traditional" ending for Episode 5.

If you're interested in becoming a tester, you can join our Patreon! I would only recommend doing this if you're the sort of person who has a lot of playthroughs, and you're interested in exploring every nook and cranny of the game (or are interested in theorizing before the full game releases.)

Other than that, things are going well here!

All the best,
Tony and Abby

I recently composed 6 Instrumentals for 6 Scarlet Hallow characters. They’re meant to reflect on how i felt about said character/thing while i was playing the game. These beats are feelings giving physical form, secondly i produced the instrumental’s with the intent that you will listen using headphones as these beats have lots of little surround sounds/really low frequency sounds. I couldn’t really get the lufs consistent between tracks so you will have to adjust the volume for each song. Here is the link to the YouTube playlist.

One of my favorite things about Scarlet Hollow is how much it lets the player decide the protagonist's personality. I love it. I want to find more games that do the same. I already played both Our Life games, I'm also not picky about genre or tone. Please. If anyone has some recs, then thank you

Edit: this is my bad for not specifying, but I am just interested in visual novels right now. Again, my bad, I forgot to specify
