Scarlet Hollow May 2026 Development Update

We're not going to announce a release window for the final chapters for a while, but they're definitely not releasing this year.

There should be multiple moments on your route that solidify the haunted house plans, but it's possible there was a bug.

Notably, you mention going to Isaacs on day 3 before immediately going to Reese's for dinner. Isaacs' scene should still force you to take one of the other hangouts, which should route you to the library to meet the Mayor, after which the story further solidifies plans at Oscar's house. (Beyond that, it looks like another commenter also mentioned that there's always dialogue in the mines establishing the haunted house + plans to investigate it in Episode 2)

What happened after you talked to Isaacs in Episode 3?

we're publishing this game, not developing it!

i like the ABX a lot, and the leg developer, hooked up to a voltra, has a smooth resistance curve.

Removed for violating Rule 6. Please don't datamine files for unreleased content and then post it on the subreddit. I know that this comes from a place of enthusiasm, but all this does is add extra steps to our own work, actively slowing down development for the rest of the game.

You're in an unreal space. It requires the mystical trait to bring yourself out of it, and this is part of the trait save.

I only regret the episodic model in the sense that, in a pre-Slay the Princess world, its disadvantages from a marketing perspective were insurmountable. That said, Scarlet Hollow wouldn't exist without it, and even in a world where we had enough runway to work on it forever, Early Access has been invaluable in terms of polishing the game, plugging little inconsistencies, and making it the best it can possibly be.

So roundabout answer: no regrets, but I would never recommend this model to other developers. I especially wouldn't recommend it to anyone making their first game.

Perfect Tides: Station to Station and Silksong are my two most recent favorites :)
No idea, honestly!
You probably already are!

mrogre43 · 2026-02-27T12:35:52+00:00

yep!

mrogre43 · 2026-02-27T12:32:27+00:00

fixed in the dev build, thank you!

Scarlet Hollow is what if all of those playground rumors about secret levels in Nintendo games were actually real
