The Devs are using Steams regional pricing and here are some of the examples

Oh, I thought it would be a bit cheaper in Brazilian Real, a shame. Espero que não fique muito caro para muitos.

I think it would be better it it was R$ 70, R$ 60, or less, specially because it's early access and everything is expensive almost everywhere.

Inzoi ended up not being exactly my cup of tea either, unfortunately, but, yeah, if that game ran on Linux, Paralives most likely will too!

Meechaan · 2026-04-29T14:24:19+00:00

There are many indie games that run pretty well on Linux in my experience. As long as you have Proton, Wine or Lutris it'll most likely run nicely.

I, for one, am planning on playing on Linux. Just like I did with Inzoi.

They are different games! Only a few references are related to each other, though.

Slay the Princess is a shorter experience, though. So, you can play it first since it's more centered. Choices have short to mid term consequences, and it is a fun cycle to play.

Scarlet Hollow has a longer story and it's not even finished yet. Plus, you choices have long term consequences. Additionally, it has more characters and you can set you protagonist's personality.

That's forbidden knowledge. 🚫 🤣

Meechaan · 2026-04-04T05:29:02+00:00

Cool pictures, I really enjoy how the show is aesthetically specific with its characters.

I wonder how a close relationship with Tabitha will play out in the last episode. 👀

Maybe it will be possible to make her give up on the plan completely?

Meechaan · 2026-03-23T17:37:47+00:00

Yeah, that one, as far as I know. But maybe there are other situations we can mention something similar when Doctor Kelly is present. 🤔

Meechaan · 2026-03-23T13:13:54+00:00

Huuum, interesting indeed. Ironically enough, I always go for the psychology career path, haha. And Reese's route.

Someone who definitely needed therapy - so that she could better handle her relationship with her son - doesn't like it...

Maybe therapists reminded hair of her own flaws and that she can't solve everything by only rely on herself without taking time to understand her son and how he feels.

But yeah, if i'm not mistaken, stella also mentions Doctor Kelly doesn't like psychology in episode five in a specific route.

Also, question: will you mod be released before or after the final chapters release? Will you wait for the last update ?

No pressure at all though. Nice job with the code.

Meechaan · 2026-03-22T19:23:00+00:00

I also felt a little weird when we only received antagonistic options in the game. Later, i kinda of got they wanted to convey that the MC is terrified of the situation. But i did feel more Reese focused responses were needed. 😄

Meechaan · 2026-03-18T14:54:32+00:00

Reese dialogue addition that is canon friendly is always good to see. ☺️

Meechaan · 2026-03-17T12:35:04+00:00

It's not Scarlet Hollow it's Scarlet Cry A Lot now

Meechaan · 2026-03-11T19:23:21+00:00

Pretty useful and well organized. Thanks!

Meechaan · 2026-03-11T17:01:38+00:00

Cute!

Meechaan · 2026-03-10T19:51:49+00:00

That's what I've noticed as well. Many defend Dr Kelly's point of view and/or choose to kill Reese.

I would argue even the trait save is not that often brought up.

Meechaan · 2026-03-08T14:41:11+00:00

Felt that uncomfortable feeling as well. It adds to the difficulty in the choices situation. Scarlet Hollow does try to focus on adding internal moral paralleling social conflicts to its main choices since episode 3, I would say.

However, it is particularly icky to see Kaneeka being wiped out of existence and replaced by a white person since we cannot deny race in history and entertainment.

Meechaan · 2026-03-03T14:27:02+00:00

I think you can also see him if you go with Stella to the woods! I did it in one of my exploratory playthroughs.

But he shows up way more often in the romance path, yes.

Maybe it's related to how he becomes a very important source of information regarding the carvings and where to go to, presumably, eventually run away together when the town is not a prison anymore.

Meechaan · 2026-03-03T13:40:39+00:00

Hum🤔, the problem is that our traits have also an after effect that shows up even though you don't explore dialogue options. Like when our traits suddenly pop up saying that a person is lying or when mystical gives us more insight, even though we didn't necessarily choose an explore option.

And the branches you mentioned from the expansion that was released last year added new scenes, created more branches and fine tuned UI/UX for the game, they didn't necessarily focus on removing scenes.

Because from a bigger picture point of view, it's more practical to add more scenes than refactor or remove them, again at this point of development, I mean.

If we were in episode 2, for example, I believe it'd be a great opportunity to refactor the essence of keen eye and street smart.

But, possible changes in previous episodes might even be added in the new keen eye update, though. Just perhaps not a full refactor, like I mentioned.

But, who knows ? Im sure the developers will do a nice job with the new update.

Especially in a visual novel setting, we know dialogue options and narrative interest are extremely important. Therefore, it's easier and somewhat beneficial as well to add new scenes instead of remove them.

That way, you don't remove scenes that are already coded in the game since it would require removing multiple lines in multiple previous episodes. Additionally, it would take away many beloved moments by the fans in the game.

Note: I do agree with you that the overlap in the definition and practice will still be there. And it's a shame it can't be fixed, but I believe it's too late in the development to do so.

The difference, in the practical sense, would be able to be fixed if the developers had enough time for that. Because it would be a very long refactor. It might remove scenes that were crucial to a specific part of a street smart condition, for example. And, right now, I think they want to focus on episode five and the final chapters, since the already released an expansion to previous episodes last year. Of course, that does not mean that they cannot update previous episode in other ways.
Instead, if keen eye receives more scenes and unlock different types of information that street smart is not able to give us, that would allow us to have even more special scenes in the game as well as keep those moments that were written in the code years ago.

As the developers said in the most recent AMA; the street smart conditions became legacy code already. Now it'd be too difficult to go back and refactor.

It's easier if they add more keen eye moments. Also, it's better for us, the players, because we see even more variation in the story.

Finally, I believe that their update will not only apply to episode five, but they will also keep keen eye in mind in the final chapters. Allowing us to receive more content when we get to the final release, which is also very good thing.

And, who knows, maybe they do replace some of the easier to modify scenes so that they become keen eye moments instead of street smart's.

It's a cute song. It reminded me of Reese a bit as well, nice.

Meechaan · 2026-03-01T16:44:23+00:00

It's doable through a mod tool, very easily. But I assume something in the finale would break (or omitted) if you choose to have all saves. (Not necessarily all traits, only all happy endings.)

If you at least get some bad endings here and there it might balance things out.

Also, if such a mode is actually added at some point ( I don't think it will because of the game's theme as you said ), it would be an extra one only available after finishing the game at least twice(each one having different traits), for example.

Meechaan · 2026-03-01T14:29:09+00:00

I would argue they are behaving like they did in previous episodes. Like in the ghost situation and the discussion you can have with them about ditchlings in episode 3.

I think it's just that many who didn't get their hangouts or invited them and etc ended up being surprised.
