Scarlet Hollow is a hand-drawn, narrative-driven horror adventure developed by Widow’s Games that blends slow-burn dread with deep character choice. Set in a decaying Appalachian mining town, the game places you in the role of a distant relative returning home after a mysterious death. From the moment you arrive, Scarlet Hollow feels wrong—haunted forests, abandoned mines, and townsfolk who clearly know more than they say.
What truly sets the game apart is how personal the horror feels. Instead of relying on cheap jump scares, it builds tension through atmosphere, dialogue, and the consequences of your decisions. Your choices shape relationships, unlock unique story paths, and can dramatically alter who survives. The striking black-and-white art style gives the game a graphic-novel feel that perfectly complements its unsettling tone.
Scarlet Hollow also shines in its character writing. Each resident has secrets, fears, and motivations that slowly unravel as the story progresses. With episodic storytelling and strong replay value, the game rewards curiosity and emotional investment, making every playthrough feel meaningfully different.
