About Scarlet Hollow

Coal mines sealed off after a deadly collapse. Strange creatures preying on livestock. Houses infested with vengeful spirits. The sleepy town of Scarlet Hollow has come alive with horrors, just in time for your arrival. You only have to survive a week. But you may not make it out in one piece.

  • Twin Peaks meets Gravity Falls and Life is Strange.

  • Over 98% positive reviews on Steam.

  • Releasing across seven episodes — three are currently released.

  • Design-focus on immersive decision making, realistic NPC relationships, and significant narrative branching.

Take a scenic trip to breezy Scarlet Hollow today.

About Slay the Princess

You’re on a path in the woods. And at the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a Princess. You’re here to slay her. If you don’t, it will be the end of the world.

  • A fully-voiced, cosmic horror black comedy/romance. The Stanley Parable meets Call of Cthulhu with a dash of Disco Elysium.

  • Complex branching narrative with immersive, hand-penciled art.
