What is the age rating for Scarlet Hollow?
we don’t have any official age ratings but i would have to assume m for mature (realistic gore).
theyoungestmidnightcafe asked:
What exactly does the Mystic trait do in SH? I played the game (CH 1, I’ll start CH2 soon) but I’m still unsure on what’s the run down of the trait.
Can you explain?
It lets you see the threads of reality in a way others cannot. Often in a way that others cannot handle.

Good mornighternoon. I want to ask- since one of the more subtle influences in Slay the Princess is Taoism (I forgot exactly where and when you've mentioned it) and you've mentioned before that it coincided with martial arts training, are Adversary's moves based on any specific training?
I also want to mention that I love how even SM's and LQ's designs look yin-yang. LQ is mostly obscured by shadow, but has white glowing eyes while Princess is pale with dark grey eyes. Even few of her vessels are lit like LQ such as the start of meeting The Stranger.
I was the model for all of her moves, so some combination of Muay Thai, Wing Chun and JKD :)
happyflappystims asked:
will there be new content in any other routes (new dialogue perhaps) besides the listed ones in the pristine cut also? so excited!!
Yes, but it’s extremely minor.
I believe the biggest change to non-advertised routes is giving the Skeptic!Eye of the Needle a unique closing monologue after freeing her, to differentiate that variant from the Hunted’s. (Since freeing her is more “on-theme” for the Skeptic, we wanted to give her a little more oomph there.) I don’t actually remember if other routes got those sorts of changes. I don’t think so though?
There’s a couple of other minor changes that we’re still mulling on whether we want to include, but that’s more on the art side of things than dialogue.
kashii9652 asked:
Do you still have the art of the princess with colors concept art? Did you post it anywhere? Just curious.
We don’t have any concept art of the princess in color — the closest we have is the victory screen from the good ending which is still in the game!
magua-vida asked:
I got a question. How do Street Smart and Keen Eye differ in reading people (aside from SS majoring in the art of lying)? The descriptions made me wonder a bit on which one I'd rather choose. Is SS like... having x2 Empathy because of being able to pick up lies *and* having a good read on people while being able to be sneaky? Is KE more of a general Sherlock Scan?
There was definitely way too much overlap in how we wrote the social components of Street Smart and Keen Eye when we first started work on Scarlet Hollow — we’ve sloooowly been going through over the years and incrementally patching older episodes + changing our how we write them in newer episodes.
In general, the breakdown is more along the lines of:
Keen Eye — leaning far more into observational skills, especially active environmental observation. Keen Eye might conclude that someone is sloppy because there’s a mustard stain on their shirt.
Street Smart — more of a vibes-based thing, focusing on direct interpersonal interactions. Street Smart might conclude that the same person is sloppy because of their bad posture or lazy energy while never noticing the mustard stain.
Where both traits are relevant, we try to get a dual-trait option that gives just a wee bit extra info.
Over time, we’ve also given less social cues to Keen Eye and focused much more on the environmental side of things.
🥲
What a nice playthrough. There’s something so special about watching people earnestly connect with our work. Slay the Princess is a weird game and we were expecting to hit a lot of friction when we released.
Thank you all so much for approaching our game with an open heart.
We poured so much of ourselves into it, and we’re eternally grateful to all of you for listening.
catching up on fixing some extremely rare scarlet hollow bugs that only crop up at the intersection of a dozen already rare worldstates
i forgot how brain-meltingly intricate some of this branching is
so happy to be back it may be a hell of my own making, but it’s a comfy hell
obliviousoracle asked:
I just picked up Slay the Princess on the summer sale, having enjoyed the hell out of Scarlet Hollow. would you recommend waiting for the Pristine Cut before playing StP?
On the off chance you stumble into the new/expanded routes on your playthrough, I’d wait at this point!
