This is, definitively, going to be the last major patch for the first three episodes.
#Scarlet hollow story update
How does this update affect your saves? It doesn't! But it'll make the first three episodes feel just a little richer, and it's a perfect excuse to take a summer vacation and make your way back to the Holler. A long list of other small changes we've made over the course of the past few months, which I have since lost track of.There's a brand new line of inquiry at the mines in Episode 2.I think you know who we're talking about ) We've added a special friend to several backgrounds throughout the first 3 episodes.Old Kaneeka library sprite on the left, new sprite on the right! This includes the hill overlooking the town at the beginning of Episode 1's cryptid hunt, as well as several of Kaneeka's earlier sprites - she now has a proper set of sprites when you first meet her in Episode 1, and we've changed the head of her library sprites in Episode 2 to better reflect the final character design we landed on.
We've overhauled and/or replaced a few pieces of art from earlier episodes that we felt were either lacking, or that needed changes to better reflect established canon.This was particularly a challenge with Mystical, where a lot of options fell a little flat, so wherever possible, we've provided players with that extra information in advance, and we're leaving it up to them to decide whether or not to share it. One of our original design ideas was to use the existence of special dialogue options as a means to convey additional information to our players, but from watching streams and recordings of Scarlet Hollow, it was clear that this wasn't how players interacted with those options. Every trait's gotten a little something extra, with an emphasis on providing more unique social benefits to Powerful Build (which remains the least picked trait in the game) and providing additional context to Mystical. More trait-specific dialogue options and passive narration.Players with the Hot trait have even more flirt options in the first three Episodes, and everyone now gets a little something to move things along a bit faster. The romance in Scarlet Hollow remains at a slow burn, but we figured it could maybe burn a little faster.
#Scarlet hollow story full
The full game is also 20% off right now, as so far has ~375,000 words of content, so it's as good a time as any to take the leap and get caught up! Only some of these patch notes apply to Episode 1, but we wanted to include them all here, since many of the bullets reference similar changes that have been made across all 3 currently released episodes. There's quite a few changes here, so we'll leave you with the high level ones. You will then automatically find the other children later and save them.Hey folks! It's another between-episodes interlude, so it's time for another balance patch. Stop her/alarm the others to keep her from leaving. Inside the mine, during the argument between Tabitha and Stella, you will notice Rosalina is about to sneak out. Inside the mine, follow the children, then when you find Rosalina, search for the other children.Inside the mine, follow the children, then when you find Rosalina, grab her and leave.When following the teenager, call Tabitha, tell her about what you’re doing, then wait on her.When following the teenager, call Tabitha, tell her about what you’re doing, but don’t wait on her.When following the teenager, go into the mine without calling Tabitha.While at the mine, go to Tabitha’s office and tell her that Kaneeka and Stella sent you to snoop.When at Reese’s house, tell the mom that you want to go on an adventure with him.Go to the General Store, ask about the potato chips, then go to the library and tell Kaneeka about having been invited to steal.There are probably more ways to do this, but mine were these:
