6About Slay the Princess — The Pristine Cut
You're on a path in the woods, and at the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a Princess. . You're here to slay her. If you don't, it will be the end of the world. . She will do everything in her power to stop you. She'll charm, and she'll lie, and she'll promise you the world, and if you let her, she'll kill you a dozen times over. You can't let that happen. Don't forget, the fate of the world rests on your shoulders. . . You're not going to listen to him, are you? We're supposed to save princesses, not slay them.... . Features . . Fully voice-acted by the impeccable Jonathan Sims and Nichole Goodnight. . . Hand-penciled art - every background and sprite is drawn traditionally with pencil and paper by Ignatz-winning graphic novelist Abby Howard. . . A princess. She's very bad and you have to get rid of her for all our sakes. . . No, the Princess isn't a “cosmic horror,” whatever that is supposed to mean. She's just an ordinary human Princess, and you can definitely slay her as long as you put your mind to it. . . Don't even think about trying to romance her. It won't end well for you. . . Hopefully you won't die. But if you do, you'll die a lot. Be

My friend watched from over my shoulder as I played this game for the first time
My friend watched from over my shoulder as I played this game for the first time. During the course of events that followed, a main character stopped talking, and when he asked me (in person) "what happened to the Narrator?", the princess (in game) replied "he is gone". The game instantly won us over, it's a solid 10/10 for narrative and story.

Better than expected
Slay the Princess is one of those games where it’s best if you go in blind, so what I can tell you without spoiling the game is limited. I can tell you a few things I wish I knew before I started playing. 1. Though Slay the Princess is classified as a horror game, that’s not the point of the game; it’s not constantly trying to jump scare you, for instance (there are maybe two jump scares in the entire game). While there are several sequences that could potentially disturb some players, I consider myself somewhat of a wuss, and I was mostly fine throughout the game. Please don’t let the horror label scare you away from an interesting and unique story. 2. The text at the beginning of the game is not lying. “There are no wrong decisions. There are only fresh perspectives. ” So don’t be afraid to experiment. (See: point 1). 3. While playing the game, you will eventually trigger a sequence that will lead you to think “Oh, I’ve beaten the game.” This is an understandable conclusion, as the sequence in question certainly does look pretty climatic and final. However, just because you’ve technically finished the game, does not mean that you’ve seen everything the game has to offer. I strongly encourage you to go through the game 2 or 3 times before “lowering your spoiler shields” as Slay the Princess’ story is deceptively dense. 4. Slay the Princess is fully voice acted, and the cast does an outstanding job. Jonathan Sims and Nichole Goodnight knock it out of the park with their performances. You will listen to a British man argue with himself, and you will be entertained the entire time. My recommendation for Slay the Princess cannot be overstated. This is an interesting and unique story that you won’t find anywhere else.

Take a sniff of The Stanley Parable, a hint of Doki Doki Literature Club, and stir it in a Lovecraft pot
Take a sniff of The Stanley Parable, a hint of Doki Doki Literature Club, and stir it in a Lovecraft pot. Beautifully horrific, doing things with the visual novel engine that I have never seen before, and a really good story.
