Scarlet Hollow, the award-winning episodic horror-mystery developed by Black Tabby Games (Slay the Princess), relaunches with significant new content with The Roads Untraveled Update, available now with a 25% discount as part of Steam Visual Novel Fest.
Pick two character traits to become a muscle-bound mystic, a nerdy loner who talks to animals, and other combinations of story-altering characteristics to shape a surreal gothic narrative all your own. Explore a new and improved UI accommodating an expanded script of more than 70,000 words and bear witness to hand-drawn, troubling oddities that flesh out a forgotten coal mining town, its denizens, and the creatures that lurk in the dark surrounding them both.
The Roads Untraveled freshly reanimates the existing four chapters of Scarlet Hollow, with an expanded script of more than 70,000 words from Abby Howard and Tony Howard-Arias across four episodes. Experience new tales in Scarlet Hollow, North Carolina, and explore new branches of existing stories, replete with hundreds of brand new illustrations from award-winning cartoonist Abby Howard.
Pearlanne Scarlet, your aunt and owner of the Hollow’s Scarlet Mine, left your cousin Tabitha the heavy burdens of leadership in the wake of her passing. Help Tabitha grieve the death of her mother (even if she seems to hate your guts) while she manages the mine and its miscreants, from rustic locals to vengeful spirits. This funeral will have tremendous consequences for the living.
Embody a version of yourself defined by two traits with the power to alter the trajectory of your life… and others. Become a muscle-bound mystic, a nerdy loner who prefers talking to animals, or another amalgamation of your own design to craft a story unique to your choices with dire consequences tied to your actions. Experience a desktop roleplaying game through the first-person lens of a transient out-of-towner cursed to change everything — for better or worse.
Scarlet Hollow - The Roads Untraveled Update welcomes you with open arms today on PC via Steam alongside the start of Steam’s Visual Novel Fest with a 25% discount off the regular price of $24.99 through Monday, March 10 2025. The entire reworked first episode is now available as a free demo, with the ability to directly carry your progress over into the full game.
