Before I even knew what kind of person I was, my family name was already heavy with expectations. Lacking the varied distractions of city life, entertainment in the country is often laser-focused on the gossip and dramas of the townsfolk. I was given the opportunity to try out and play through a beautiful visual novel called Scarlet Hollow, you play as a character visiting the town of Scarlet Hollow to attend your aunts funeral.Anyone who has lived in a small town for an extended period of time knows the pressure of family dynasties. Whilst travelling there you're met by a stranger who will not stop talking to you, me personally, I would rather be left alone so whilst replying to him I responded with answers that gestured this. It can be pretty annoying when you just want to nap and someone keeps nattering on, the stranger seemed rather creepy with what he was talking about and not the kind of person I would befriend.

But before we delve deeper into this review I want to talk about the thought given when it comes to pronouns, Scarlet Hollow allows you to be the focus of the game and instead of playing as a random character you can choose your pronouns, name and where you're from. It's refreshing to see developers care about diversity and how others identify, I know so many people who would love to see themselves represented in games and Black Tabby Games have implemented this well. I chose she/her pronouns and my real name which is Elle and the the town I'm from, St Austell, just so I can put myself at the forefront of this mysterious story instead of making someone up.
