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.

The first run is a personality test if you're honest about it. The second one onward is an exploration of one self. You may find a side of you that has been hidden for a long time and had forgotten about it. It is somewhat therapeutical if you're the kind of person that has forgotten who you really are. You have to play this game before the fated day comes, when everything goes dark and you die.
全程配音出色,存档机制很友好
Game did not give me a WOW impression, but its a solid visual novel with interresting concept. Advice: save before any meaningful choice (expecially in chapter 2 and 3 of each pass). Helps you collect different branches of story faster.
Today I got my last achievement. Got to 100% after almost 32 hours and it was absolutely worth it. I haven't seen any game like this, one of the best experiences I've tried! Also, the Happily Ever After route was what made me love this game beyond what I thought it was at first sight, it's so much more than I could ever thought.
Intricate
tremendo juego, le dedicaria mas tiempo para sacar todos los finales si puediera (vida de un explotado mal pagado)
对我胃口
there are simply so many paths to choose and by far, my favorites would have to be "The Thorn" and "happily ever after". such a good game, well drawn and written beautifully. get "the pristine cut", it is SO worth the money.
It's after you go back many times that you realize the true nature of the game; and it's wonderful. I'm a huge fan of Undertale and Deltarune, and I never thought I would find a game where your choices matter the way they do in them. I was proven wrong the second I opened this masterpiece for the first time. Your choices are more impactful than I ever thought any video game could achieve, and the sheer amount of ways you can spin the story is amazing. This game is phenomenal.
There's just so much to do. This is an absolutely mind boggling story experience that pushes the limits of what a "visual novel" can be. It really feels like every little choice you make changes the outcome of your path.
