Black Tabby Games

having a thought I can't fully articulate about how normally video games conceptualise player agency as being part world reactivity and a much larger part power fantasy. and how scarlet hollow dials down the power fantasy but has a level of world reactivity that is absolutely off the charts. perfect for a horror game. you can see the ripples of every action you take no matter how small, but you can't save everyone. maybe not even yourself

finally.... someone has done it...

scarlet hollow is basically the trolley problem but more fucked up and every day is a different train, and you're the passenger, conductor, and stood outside prepared to flip a switch and you're also the person on the tracks-

I just noticed in Scarlet Hollow during the witch sequence, each time you take back another daughter it adds a layer of vocals to the music. thats such a cool detail
