If you are reading this comment, this game probably has piqued your interest. My advice: just go ahead and purchase it. It's by far the best visual novel I have ever played. I genuinely cannot praise this game enough. If it doesn't end up being your thing, you can always refund.

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.

This game is THE RPG. It is so reactive to what you say, and its writing is of such high quality that it doesn't need any other game-play besides its dialogue to hook you. I can't remember the post I saw, but they perfectly described the game's dialogue as a having an actual conversation rather than an interrogation. The game doesn't force me to give input when i don't want to, and it'll let me say my piece while perfectly accounting for either choice. It's not just the dialogue. The game gives you the ability to tailor the character to you, or any ROLE you're trying to PLAY with the many traits you can start the game with and with all the choices you can make define who you are in the Holler. If you like Baldur's Gate III or any other RPG for the actual "Role-Playing" buy this game NOW. It's even on sale at the time of my review. (P.S. also get Slay the Princess; It is a good game, and it supports Abby and Tony) (If you get STP don't hate on it for not being as big as SH. It is a great game, just at a smaller scale, so don't expect it to be the same monster of a title that is Scarlet Hollow)

Oh my god I got this after I got Slay The Princess and my expectations were high because I have played such a good game from this dev. They were blown out of the water. If I'm being honest with you I can't tell you which game I like more. This game is so incredibly good. Everything from the dialogue to the traits to the literally everything else its just perfection. I wanna marry Wayne
