The Scarlet Hollow RUMORS UPDATE will be releasing on July 30th!
And once it's out, the first five episodes of Scarlet Hollow will be a combined one-million words long!
On that note, we've wrapped up writing work on our planned expansion to Episode 5, which means we're moving on to art. We'll be looking to get a build of this update out to testers in about a couple of weeks, so if you're interested in checking it out early,Β you can sign up for our Patreon and get access to exclusive Discord channels on our server.
Here's (some of) what you can expect from this upcoming expansion. SPOILERS FOR CURRENTLY RELEASED CONTENT BELOW THE CUT:
Episode 5:
About 70,000 words of new and remastered content, with most of it expanding some of the shorter sections of the chapter.
Visit the church for spiritual guidance!
Chat with Avery and Doctor Kelly while driving to the farms.
Talk at Franklin from the back of the squad car after you've been arrested.
The transition to the farms should be smoother and more drawn out across most playthroughs, including longer interactions with Reese, Wayne and Irma.
Players romancing Reese with the Hot trait will have the ability to more thoroughly explore the town, though this might come with its own set of consequences.
Going to the farms with Stella will have more route-unique content, including some entirely new backgrounds.
Most routes through Episode 5 now contain more background context for Julius, helping bring players who skipped Julius-relevant scenes in previous Episodes up to speed.
The Tabitha office confrontation scene has been rebalanced. Overall, the "best" outcome should be harder to obtain, without making it easier to trigger a hard failure. The "most powerful" strategies for this scene have been nerfed, and the weakest strategies have been buffed.
Keen Eye has been given a number of buffs. Notably, it now gives the player warnings ahead of major relationship checks that the player is likely going to fail before the player locks in to an attempt. This further cements its role as a powerful trait for first time players, while falling off for players with significant game knowledge.
Reworked the farms ending where the player transfers the baby to a wounded Avery to communicate what's going on more clearly, and bring it in line with our original vision.
Earlier Episodes:
Added a confirmation screen before taking The Roads Untraveled route in Episode 2, with in-universe narration suggesting that the player might miss out on things by staying at the Estate. We think this route provides a compelling perspective on certain characters and events, but it also makes the gameβs social elements harder to navigate, and it makes it easy to miss context around Avery and Julius. We think itβs best to take this on a second playthrough, but we also donβt want to fully restrict players from taking options that feel correct for their characters. Hopefully this nudge balances things out!
Expanding on the above, the player now has the option to return to the Estate in Episode 2 after visiting town, allowing for more exploration (General Store + Diner) without committing to the Stella/Kaneeka library route. This opens up Averyβs content and Juliusβ introduction in the diner while still allowing the player to roleplay as avoiding danger and respecting Tabithaβs wishes.
Removed the Street Smart requirement for giving Isaacs the playerβs contact information specifically for The Roads Untraveled mines route. This should both open up more story avenues for players taking this path, and serve to boost player relationships compared to the default route. Snitching on the strike should give the player an opportunity to avoid Tabithaβs hangout without taking a further penalty to her relationship, and also opens up an opportunity to take a hangout with another character.
Avery's scene in the general store in Episode 3 now occurs across all playthroughs, instead of just serving as a catch-up scene for players who didn't meet Avery in previous episodes.
New rare resolution to the clinic in Episode 4.
There'll be more to find than the above, but we'll leave of that to fan discovery :]
Writing for Episode 6 is also well under way!
Cheers,
Tony and Abby
βBecause the truth is, tech doesnβt have an image problem. It doesnβt have a message problem. It has an intention problem. Whatβs wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasnβt successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. Whatβs wrong is that heβs trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product thatβs designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isnβt that you havenβt told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.β
thinking about ilya and cliff playing terrible 1on1 basketball. just missing every single throw. cliffs like wait roz im gonna dunk. watch. and then he goes to dunk and hes like 6 inches from the rim

I notice alot of my followers on here skipping these posts just to mess with my lgbt ones, suspiciously the white popular ones.
Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.
Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.
Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.
Iβd like to add this photo I took last night in Victoria of the statue of Captain Cook. Though I myself am not indigenous, I 100% agree that these murderers, kidnappers and rapists shouldnβt have huge statues and plaques that decorate them and say how βgreatβ they were.
Hereβs another photo of the legislative assembly from yesterday. Later on there were more items, candles and signs at the memorial, as well as a big poster with 1505 painted on it but I didnβt get a picture
People need to see this. Not just quickly glance at the photos and keep on scrolling. They need to see this.
I had seen the first picture of the church, but not the second.
I went to a βCancel Canada Dayβ event and burst into tears - not because I was surprised to learn of the unmarked graves (survivors told us they were there. Our government pushed it aside, and we let them), but because seeing all the people gathered in mourning drove it home: They. Were. Children.
This is my countryβs legacy - and itβs not history. The last schools closed during my lifetime. My Father went to school with students who lived at the local residential school, after it was changed to a boarding house (read: holding centre) for indigenous youth who went to local schools.
They were all children, injured, abused, and killed in my countryβs attempt to erase them. I want the world to see this and hold the state accountable to *active* reconciliation> I mean we could at least truly adopt UNDRIP in action instead of words for godβs sake.
here you can read an article about a survivor of the church and some of the things he experienced to help put into perspective how awful and just how recent it was
The key to writing good fanfiction is to harbor a deeply humiliating desire, and the trick there is that even pretty basic and societally-accepted desires like βbeing heldβ and βbeing wantedβ CAN and WILL be humiliating if theyβre intense enough. Become so estranged from human connection that the idea of someone playing with your hair fills you with yearning so deep you feel like youβre going to throw up and you will write some banger fanfiction. It might have some other consequences too but idrk about that.

Waitβ¦why are busses depicted as a dangerous way to commute in American media?
I never really thought about it before but busses are one of the safest ways to commute to work I can imagine. Iβm not ever worried when I take the train but if I had to pick which Iβd feel more safe on it would be the bus.
I used to travel between towns late at night when I was a teenager/young adult woman and it would be straight up cozy and a nice way to end my day.
I think a bus feels safter to me because the driver is always right there in case something happens, while youβre kinda on your own on a train late at night.
So did you ever see Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Remember the plotline about the Red Car trolley being bought out and dismantled by Cloverleaf, and the villain's Big Reveal that they planned to demolish Toontown and put a highway through it, and people would use it because the Red Car trolley wasn't there to use anymore and so they'd be FORCED to buy a car?
That really happened, in the US. Only instead of the villain being an evil cartoon posing as a judge, the villain was General Motors and Ford and all the big car companies. They bought public transit lines and dismantled them. They lobbied congress to fund the interstate highway system and they CONTINUE to lobby the us govt to keep trains and public transit from having any money, while making sure the roads get lots of it. They are responsible not only for the dismantling of public transit but also the public's perception that public transit is bad and even dangerous.
American media thinks busses and trains are dangerous because the car companies have spent DECADES and billions of dollars on propaganda making sure Americans think that so they will continue to buy cars and not question how much roads and highways have destroyed the landscape.
its also a healthy dosage of classism and ableism and a hatred of homeless people and addicts all of which are the largest demographic of people who use the public bus
Also racism. The racism piece is big and unavoidable. It's connected with classism, yes, but the fact that "people who can't afford their own cars" is a disproportionately BIPOC group is not incidental here. In cities with significant Black populations and also public transit that sucks badly enough that everyone who can afford their own car has one, the bus-riding population is not only going to be at least as racially diverse as the overall city (aka, much MORE diverse than the social circles of many white residents, especially richer ones) but generally much more heavily Black because of the racially uneven distribution of wealth/income. So the bus is "dangerous" for the same reason that certain neighborhoods are "dangerous" - Black people are there.
Combine this with the fact that public transit sucks so much in many American cities (and even more outside of them) that people just don't use the bus at all if they can afford not to, and a lot of middle class white people don't have any positive or neutral bus experiences to balance out this racist reputation problem, and so it persists.
