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.

Mi è scesa una lacrimuccia
goated
The story is amazing and so are graphics and music. A real tear jerker also.
норм
ca ganda jogo
Najlepsza gra w jaką grałam!
为什么分裂?身不由己。 为什么历经谋害,背叛,合作,拯救后还能存在信任?还是身不由己。
its so incredibly peak and runs on basically anything
çok iyi oyundu oynarken yalnız hissetmedim
Eine äußerst schön gezeichnete und sehr gut vertonte Visual Novel, die sich trotz Meta-Elementen nicht darin verrennt, sondern eine berührende Geschichte auf unkonventionelle Weise erzählt. Die Zeichnungen sind wirklich durchweg sehr detailliert und hübsch, auch wenn die Augen der Prinzessin teilweise selbst für einen Anime-inspirierten Stil übermäßig groß sind. :D Die Musik ist immer stimmig und gefällt mir auch beim Anhören außerhalb des Spiels. Auch die Leistung der Sprecher muss ich loben; nicht nur sind sie äußerst passend, es ist wirklich beeindruckend, wie viele verschiedene "Charaktere" sie vertonen können, ohne dass sie sich zu sehr ähneln. Und dann natürlich noch ein paar Worte zur Geschichte. Sie ist extrem gut! Es gibt eigentlich nur drei richtige handelnde Charaktere, die man alle irgendwie liebgewinnt, und vielleicht vier Handlungsorte. Solange man einfach drauf losspielt, wird man trotz Loop-Struktur selten eine sich wiederholende Stelle finden, da es so viele Entscheidungen und daraus entstehende Routen gibt. Mit viel Humor, Gefühlen und manchmal etwas gruseligeren Stellen, wird hier eine schöne und coole kosmische Liebesgeschichte (?) über verschiedene Realitätsebenen hinweg erzählt. An manchen Stellen sind es doch etwas sehr viele Stimmen im Kopf, die einem dazwischen reden, aber dahingehend hat mich Disco Elysium abgehärtet. ;) Abschlussworte: Mein Lieblingsprinzessin ist Nightmare. Dementsprechend hätte es gerne mehr richtig gruselige Stellen im Spiel geben dürfen. Heart. Lungs. Liver. Nerves.
