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.

Beautifully written story with deep and profound insights. just awesome!
游玩中打出了很多让我意外但又很喜欢的支线结局。特别喜欢[spoiler] 公主与龙、梦魇、愤怒这几章!公主与龙真神了![/spoiler]就像作者说的,这是一个爱情故事。无数亲密关系被解剖与剥离,最终产生了丝线缠绕般的“杀死公主”的故事。我们要相信,在这个被讲述出来的故事里,你永远拥有追求真实自我的权利。如果想打全成就有点痛苦,故事线有很多类型,选项分支又多,重复的叙述性剧情竟然可以跳过真是帮大忙了(谨慎地擦汗),但每条线的走向都不一样,属于量大管饱但收集苦手的那一档。
I enjoyed most of the things about this game but still wanted to share just one observation about the prevailing theme it has which I heavily disliked: [spoiler]the game encourages the player to hurt the characters to get more of the story[/spoiler]
il est bien juste chiant les bug qui passe le texet tout seul et j'ai l'impression que la vf est mal traduit a certain moment
Gran juego, los visuales, la actuación de voz y la historia son un sobresaliente. debería ser probado incluso por aquellos que no son tan afines al genero de novela visual
who up recursively existentializing they princess
The most beautiful game I've ever played.
画面完成度看似不高但和作品超级适配,情绪表达太厉害了很多情景都很有冲击力,到高潮部分的时候精细度和帧率都提高,配合音乐和文字一起甚至很震撼。剧情也很有意思,每一次选择最终都会塑造出不同的公主,主角与公主之间镜像般的关系性真的有表达,也真的能引起思考和回味。真心建议全程讨论一些特别粗浅的概念还要上高度、游戏性差的要死还非得谜语人不知所云的无聊游戏制作者都来进修一下。
Short but awesome game! Reminded me of DDLC a little bit.
