Return to the Horrors of Scarlet Hollow in Episode 4
The coal mines are calling; it’s time to return to Scarlet Hollow. Developer Black Tabby Games plans to release the highly anticipated fourth episode of its seven-part multi-award-winning horror series on November 22nd.
While visiting a small sleepy town in North Carolina to attend the funeral of your recently deceased aunt's funeral, things quickly turn for the unsettling as the horrors of Scarlet Hollow emerge. Players choose from 21 different character builds that change how they interact with the world, helping them make impactful choices to change how their story goes. From befriending the locals, learning your family’s history or even going on dates, every choice taken and every relationship you forge directly impacts the unfolding mystery.
Players will have to survive a week in Scarlet Hollow, but making it to the end in one piece won’t come easily. Your arrival marks the beginning of unique events that quickly escalate with each passing day, each episode shifting from humor to horror and back again, as reports of strange creatures preying on local livestock and mysterious sounds deep in the Scarlet Hollow mines begin to ripple through the community.
We’re incredibly excited to be finishing Episode 4 and finally sharing it with the world. Every new episode of Scarlet Hollow is a step-up over the previous installment - the art continues to improve, the gameplay gets tighter, and choices continue to have rippling effects across the narrative and Episode 4 is no exception. It’s sprawling, detailed, and the consequences of our players’ previous choices will be felt. - Tony Howard-Arias, CEO & Co-founder of Black Tabby Games
Episode 4 picks up right where players left off, and fresh nightmares await. Black Tabby Games has expanded the scope of Scarlet Hollow's exploration, offering nearly 800 pages of a new script, greater freedom to roam the town, combined with all-new locations to investigate and characters to form bonds with.
Episode 4 of Scarlet Hollow is available for free for those who already own the game starting November 22nd. Those arriving to the town for the first time can enjoy this immersive horror mystery for $19.99, which includes all current and future episodes on Steam.
