farewell to all the earthly remains

they've poured yaoi cocaine on the floor in front of the phroombas 😭

love the fact that, faced with the choice of 'should we make a vampire love interest or a werewolf love interest' black tabby figured out to somehow make him both, and neither (but mainly both).

Always remember that throughout the horrors, Isaacs is having his very own The Summer Hikaru Died experience in the background

Example of good video game writing in Scarlet Hollow: the sticker on Kaneeka's laptop. I noticed it in Chapter 2, but others may have gotten to see it as early as the end of Chapter 1. If you don’t know anime, all you see is a cute anime critter, possibly a pokemon. If you do know anime, you’ll recognise Kyubey from Puella Magi Madoka Magica, a dark and bloody deconstruction of magical girl stories. Knowing more about her taste in anime is a poignant piece of characterisation for Kaneeka, a goth anime nerd stuck in a small dead-end mining town. But then I got to Chapter 5 and found out what Kaneeka's actual situation is, and where her plotline has been going all along, and that sticker turned out to be the biggest, bleakest piece of foreshadowing in a game full of big, bleak foreshadowings.
