About
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 careful and stay focused on the task at hand!
A branching narrative where what you say and what you believe determines both who you are and how the story unfolds. Though I wouldn’t recommend taking any paths outside of the one I lay before you.
A new roleplaying experience from the creators of Scarlet Hollow.
Slay the Princess is a choice-driven psychological horror visual novel/dating sim with dramatic branching, light RPG elements, and hand-penciled art.
What’s in the Pristine Cut?
3 brand new chapters replete with mysteries—and consequences.
Expansions to familiar routes. The Den, The Apotheosis and The Fury each have each more than doubled in length.
Over 35% more content overall—and all of it filled with great opportunities to listen to me and do your job.
A new ending. And hopefully one that saves the world rather than damns it.
Track Your Progress: Cherish your memories, relive your exploits, and uncover deeply hidden secrets with the new gallery feature.
Over 1,200 New Hand-Penciled Frames hand-illustrated by Abby Howard.

very fun fr
Un juego increible y completamente novedoso en su tematica, nunca habia disfrutado un juego de historia tanto como este. Si deseas jugar un juego modo historia que te deje reflexionando un rato, este es el indicado.
The greatest story and narrative I've ever seen in Any piece of media
Не особо люблю визуальные новеллы, особенно когда в награду за определенный цикл тебе дают только ачивку. Сюжет довольно интересен и становится понятен если вы внимательно вникаете в текст. Игра звезд с неба не ловит, но будет интересна любителям жанра, особенно по скидке.
This is such a great game, highly recommend. I've never encountered another game that is so truly choice focused, it really scratches that itch for a choose your own adventure game. Both the horror and romance are done exceptionally and it is my favorite game to date.
good game
wild
Beautiful Game. One of the only I ever really rated on steam. would 100% recommend along with DDLC plus if your a fan of horror eccentric visual novel games.
有着独特的调性的meta游戏,像是一场心理测试,对得上电波的话应该会很喜欢。 +全配音并且情绪到位 +铅笔手绘质感的风格化美术和大量的插图素材,对于意象及具象的内容都做到了很好的传达,做出了不同选择后再次循环,会因为情感的变化产生不同的小屋场景和公主造型,收集认识这些各种形态变化是我游玩过程的主要动力之一 +有很多我真正想问思考的内容在选项内,这是meta类game最有趣的一点,虽然不是每一条都有着尽善尽美的回答 -游戏性偏弱,想作为一个纯粹冒险or悬疑等类型故事来看的话恐怕会失望 -meta类文字游戏不可避免出现的看不懂的哲学会话
Writing this right after my first playthrough. INSTANT personal hall of fame. All of the things I love in videogames in one. The main one is reading. Shout out to my boyfriend for getting me this while I was sick and miserable on Christmas
