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.

One of the craziest and most unique games I've played. Funny, unnerving, and thought provoking all at the same time. The art and music are wonderful, but I have to say the story really carries this for me and how malleable it is ( and in meaningful ways, not throw away endings that don't fit). Really great writing. Highly recommend :)
Play this game. Please. It's so good. Please.
Deze game is enorm goed. De voice-acting is geweldig, de art is heel erg mooi, en het verhaal is intrigerend en goed geschreven. De enorme hoeveelheid aan mogelijke keuzes die je kan maken zorgen ervoor dat het spel erg herspeelbaar is. 10/10, ik heb van iedere seconde genoten.
GOD
I can fix the witch, I swear.
game is so good but I can't use gallery
Ottima avventura grafica con costanti informazioni che vengono condivise al giocatore. Nonostante l'etichetta horror è gestibilissimo anche da chi non gioca agli horror.
me proyecte
This game is SO good, some of the best story telling
slay the princess of a beautiful story of love and triumph over fear and mistrust . it astounds me just how many versions of the princess you can meet and how they all weave together to tell such a touching tale . i love the characters and their depth , and the art style is so unique and pretty ! the hand drawn look really adds to the feel of the game as a whole . i plan to 100% all of the achievements ^^
