This was just ok for me. I don't personally enjoy the 'clean slate' time looping mechanic, especially with such short loops, as the character development and dialogue feels shallow each time. Definitely prefer time looping mechanics where you get to keep more memories and build on that, but I get why it wasn't done here for the most part (they're retained within individual loops, but largely not across new loops). I feel like to counteract that though, the loops could have been longer, so you get more out of them.

You get a LOT of dialogue options, which was actually the biggest negative for me, as a lot of it just feels like filler and half of them feel redundant anyway, with only slight differences. Would much prefer like 3-5 dialogue options each time, where they are unique and each have a distinct impact on the story.

My highlight was the male VO, I loved his work with all the different voices. And that's pretty much it. Didn't hate it but didn't feel captivated at any point or inspired to do multiple playthroughs, which the game clearly encourages. More Scarlet Hollow to look forward to now that this is out at least.

This does a lot with very little, and the atmosphere and the way the gameplay builds kept me interested for the whole ~5 hour game time. The gameplay mechanics are ultimately just clunkier, unrefined versions of the ones in Yuppie Psycho, but I still found some enjoyment from this shorter, simpler game. The major issue that frustrated me playing this is that the MC is the slowest walker ever, and there’s no run option in the game. Seriously unbearable at times, but this is still worth a play if you enjoyed Yuppie Psycho and want more of the same, albeit a bit crappier in most ways. Ig this isn’t the most flattering review, but for $2 on steam this was worth a play for me and had more good than bad.
