How the guides are made

Editorial policy

ScritchyScratchy.cc is an independent guide. Its job is to help a player distinguish verified game facts from version-sensitive details and editorial recommendations. It does not present affiliation, copied store descriptions, or unsupported numbers as original reporting.

Editorial standard

Official facts first

Platform availability, developer and publisher attribution, prices, achievement counts, and patch changes are checked against official store pages or publisher material before secondary guides are considered.

Editorial standard

Advice is labeled

Upgrade priorities and route recommendations are editorial guidance. They are presented as decisions with tradeoffs, not as official rules or guaranteed outcomes.

Editorial standard

Version-sensitive claims expire

Odds, prices, balance values, achievement triggers, and late-game behavior can change. Pages identify those boundaries instead of turning one build or community report into a permanent fact.

Editorial standard

Corrections stay reachable

Readers and rights holders can report an error with the page URL and supporting source. Material errors are corrected rather than silently preserved for search traffic.

Source hierarchy

PrioritySource typeHow it is used
1Developer, publisher, Steam, itch.io, and official patch materialIdentity, availability, release facts, supported features, and named patch changes.
2Current browser or store build checksLaunch behavior, visible controls, demo boundaries, and whether a documented route still exists.
3Community discussions and achievement guidesUsed as route clues; unstable triggers are identified as community-reported until reproduced.

What we do not publish as fact

The site does not invent fixed ticket odds, exact unlock timing, player counts, ratings, or developer endorsement. It does not describe the paid game as a free browser release. When a detail cannot be reproduced or supported by a current primary source, the guide either labels the uncertainty or removes the claim.

Corrections and review requests

Send the page URL, disputed sentence, current game version, and a primary source or reproducible check to contact@scritchyscratchy.cc. Copyright and removal requests follow the separate copyright process.
