Scarlet Hollow — Episode 1

This visual novel got me hooked. Sadly, it's an episodic game and only the first episode is free on Steam. The trait system throughout the game is pretty interesting, hopefully the devs make use of it even more. Vampire the Masquerade had a similar system.

Found this game through Gab Smolder's stream, and I am so glad I did. It's a very interesting game that pushes the envelope of visual novels. I'm so excited for more content as the game develops. The only thing I would suggest is maybe some content warnings about the animal stuff because shew I was not expecting it and it was a LOT.

Absolutely love the combination of art, story and music for this game. The game manages to create an immersive atmosphere very quickly and I finished my first play through of this opening chapter in one sitting. The blend of odd and mysterious really keeps you intrigued as you explore. This was so enjoyable I forgot about my cup of tea.

I have not finished playing it yet, but so far, I would say, I am falling in love with this story and the way it was presented, and the various interaction(Action command eg. petting a cat, explore forbidden areas, and replying to in-game characters' questions) options(5 + 2 player's character's/attributes options for all scenes in the game). It's fun to read and interact with this storybook and the characters in...
