Storyline IGDB
Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA
Scarlet Hollow is a visual novel with RPG elements. The player chooses the protagonist's name, gender, and background, alongside two additional traits (out of seven options) that unlock unique choices and dialogue options. These traits are "Book Smart", "Street Smart", "Talks to Animals", "Hot", "Keen Eye", "Powerful", and "Mystical". There also exists a "Hardcore Mode" (unlockable as a New Game+ option) that allows the player to pick three traits, but at the cost of cutting out certain story paths those traits would normally grant access to. The player influences the story with their decisions and dialogue choices, though most basic story beats remain unchanged. Some options are labeled with the word "(Explore)", which in most cases means selecting them will not progress the story. Non-player characters' perception of the protagonist is dependent on a hidden five-variable system (open/closed, agreeable/adversarial, insightful/dull, bold/passive, and reliable/unreliable) that shifts based on their responses. At certain points, the player may have the option to begin a romantic relationship with certain NPCs, though doing so will lock out other romance options for the remainder of the playthrough.
