About This Demo

An alternate 1980s. Robots walk the streets, and no one even looks twice anymore. You've just moved to Scottside — a quiet, snow-covered town where, it seems, nothing ever happens. New school. New friends. A new, boring life.

Or so you thought — until you found something in the woods that shouldn't be there.

Scottside keeps dark secrets. And now you're right at the heart of them.

Five episodes. One winter that will change everything.

This is a demo version of the game. Dive into the snowy town's atmosphere, meet the main characters, and explore the core mechanics. Make your first meaningful choices and feel their impact on the story.

The demo already has QTE scenes and mini-games that will make you not just read, but act fast.

The characters of Scottside aren't the work of a single screenwriter's imagination. Behind every one of them stands a real person. Their personalities, choices, and fates were born at the table — in a tabletop RPG where my friends and I built the story through improvisation and dice rolls.

From random ideas, unexpected decisions, and honest emotions, the characters of Scottside took shape step by step — vivid, alive, and unpredictable.

  • Unique gameplay mechanics for the genre

Your performance in mini-games and QTE scenes will influence the story and deepen immersion.

  • Nostalgia

A retrowave soundtrack inspired by the vibe of Stranger Things, evoking a strong sense of nostalgia.

  • Unexpected plot twists

In Scottside, there are no wrong choices — only the ones you make.

  • Secrets

The creator is obsessed with mysteries and puzzles — and now they seem to be scattered not only within the game, but beyond it as well.

  • Characters

Some of them will become your true friends, and you might even fall in love with someone. Seriously — there’s a guy who’s in love with Jessica… he keeps emailing us about it.
