“The Roads Untraveled” Update Out Now for ‘Scarlet Hollow’ [Trailer]

Slay The Princess fans have more visual novel goodness to chew on with Black Tabby Games’ Scarlet Hollow now relaunched with its new “The Roads Untraveled” update. Still in Early Access on Steam, the update rejuvenates Scarlet Hollow with significant new content, as well as a time-limited 25% discount until March 13.

The Roads Untraveled freshly reanimates the existing four chapters of Scarlet Hollow, with an expanded script of more than 70,000 words from Abby Howard and Tony Howard-Arias across four episodes. Experience new tales in Scarlet Hollow, North Carolina, and explore new branches of existing stories, replete with hundreds of brand new illustrations from Abby Howard.

Pearlanne Scarlet, your aunt and owner of the Hollow’s Scarlet Mine, left your cousin Tabitha the heavy burdens of leadership in the wake of her passing. Help Tabitha grieve the death of her mother (even if she seems to hate your guts) while she manages the mine and its miscreants, from rustic locals to vengeful spirits. This funeral will have tremendous consequences for the living.

Embody a version of yourself defined by two traits with the power to alter the trajectory of your life… and others. Become a muscle-bound mystic, a nerdy loner who prefers talking to animals, or another amalgamation of your own design to craft a story unique to your choices with dire consequences tied to your actions. Experience a desktop roleplaying game through the first-person lens of a transient out-of-towner cursed to change everything — for better or worse.

“We’re still hard at work on chapter five and beyond, but we didn’t want to wait to make significant changes and improvements to the Scarlet Hollow experience,” says Tony Howard-Arias, co-founder of Black Tabby Games, adding that the demo containing the first chapter is still available for players looking to try before they buy, with the ability to directly carry your progress over into the full game.

Scarlet Hollow is being released across 7 episodes, with the remaining three episodes currently in development being released as free updates. The final version of the game is expected in 2026.
