Scarlet Deer Inn

Scarlet Deer Inn is a 2D action game with hand-embroidered graphics and a Slavic folklore-inspired story. It is set to release on July 21, 2026, with over 100,000 Steam wishlists and a demo available. Console versions are planned.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Jul 14

Attu Games announced the 2D action game Scarlet Deer Inn in June, revealing a July 22 release date and a demo. The game's character graphics are all created through actual embroidery, with frame-by-frame animation scanned and adjusted digitally. The story follows Elise, a mother of two, through a dark adventure inspired by Slavic folklore. The developers performed the music on traditional instruments.

By July the game had surpassed 100,000 Steam wishlist registrations, a milestone Attu Games highlighted as strong pre-release interest. The release date was then set for July 21, one day earlier than initially announced. A demo remains available on Steam. Console versions for PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch are planned, though no release dates for those have been given.

The hand-embroidered art style and small-team origin story give Scarlet Deer Inn a distinctive place in the indie action-game lineup this summer. The game's pre-release traction suggests a notable launch for a niche title.
