Scarlet Deer Inn Characters

At A Glance

This Scarlet Deer Inn characters wiki lists every major cast member in the embroidered folk tale from Attu Games — family, villagers, church figures, and underground threats. Elise is deliberately ordinary; the story subverts hero epics by forcing a mother through Slavic horror.

Use this page during walkthrough Part 1 to remember who sends you where. Lore ties to endings and enemies.

Who is Elise?

Elise is a mother of two, not a chosen hero. Attu Games frames her as everywoman thrust into torch-lit caves after village gossip turns deadly. Gameplay: side-scrolling platforming, interaction, and light management — no RPG stats, no skill tree.

Physically embroidered character animation makes Elise's fear readable — she flinches, crawls, and runs like a villager, not an action protagonist. Beginner guide covers her opening errands; controls lists her move set.

Kuba, Bara, and Anna

Kuba loses Horace (toy horse) in the opening — returning it teaches interact basics. Bara interacts with the swordsman guest at the inn table. Both are kidnapped by the Noon Witch, driving the mid-game rescue.

Anna runs the inn kitchen and assigns the Dorota errand. After Part 2 she delivers the witch revelation in the kitchen — the emotional pivot from chores to horror.

Village NPCs

Part 1 errands weave through a Slavic medieval village — each NPC adds gossip, achievement gates, or horror foreshadowing.

Church and authority figures

Father Johannes directs you to Lada at the old oak tree — mandatory church interior dialogue. He teaches Bara and knows village secrets implicitly.

The Bailiff enforces law in the village square — later escorts Elise to an empty cellar, embodying institutional disbelief. Marie in the square adds local gossip.

Antagonists and folk figures

Mysterious swordsman — guest at the inn table; attacks Elise in Karel's cellar and throws her into the pit. Scripted, not a skill check.

Karel — complicit or victim ambiguity in cellar horror — body on table, ice blocks. Miller — guards Golden Distaff; stealth enemy for Held Breath.

Noon Witch (Polednice) — Slavic folk spirit taking the children; final confrontation target. See enemies and endings. Underground light-chase creature is separate — not a friendly NPC.

Use achievements for step order; this wiki page names who to talk to before each trophy scene.

Cast notes from official materials

Attu Games emphasizes colourful characters in embroidered animation — each villager reads clearly in side-scroll close-ups. Elise contrasts them as grounded motherhood against folk horror.

Steam tags highlight Female Protagonist and Story Rich — the cast serves narrative, not gacha-style roster expansion. No DLC character slots announced at launch.

Guest swordsman at the inn is the only armed figure in Part 1 — his presence unsettles Bara before Karel's cellar confirms violence.

Dialogue exhaust checklist for lore hunters

Father Johannes — ask about Bara's lessons before oak tree. Lada — full oak tree conversation. Fisherman — every branch for Neverending Tale. Burnt house children — optional gossip on village fear.

Missing dialogue rarely blocks Reunited — but Neverending Tale and lore comprehension reward thorough clicks. Use walkthrough order so you do not leave areas permanently.
