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.

Reviews
as im dyslexic im not great with processing words and reading but love games with lots of text too and despite that i love reading. the dyslexic accessibility really means a lot to me and it shows the devs really care, i know its small fix but it means a lot. the voice acting is superb too, i love it soooo much. this games is excellent visual novel, its twined between many themes but i have great love for the love and horror aspects. the art is amazing, breath taking too and the way the screening moves with mouse is nice touch. im bit emotional so maybe it will be diffrent for you but i cryed a few times. the story is tragic and it captivates me, it seams simplistic but bring deep depth and is anything from simplistic the more you learn the more that true depth appears. i will be watching some lore vids after this. if any of the devs see this thank you for bringing something like this into life and to have the pleasure to have experienced.
Amazing game. Don't hesitate - it's worth it.
I haven't done an in depth playthrough of this game or tried to get many endings, so my review isn't as reliable as some others might be. This game is similar to games such as Undertale, In Stars and Time or Oneshot: it's got that theme of "the characters are aware of certain mechanics in the game that regular characters aren't aware of." The plot is quite simple as well: do as you're told and Slay The Princess, or don't. It's up to you. This next thing isn't exactly a downside, it's just part of my experience: I REALLY didn't understand the ending. That's probably just a skill issue on my part, but still. I am quite sure it did kind of explain what was happening, and I did have a concept of what was going on, but I just didn't get it. Overall, this is a very nice game. The art is beautiful, the concept is interesting, and it has complex themes. I would definitely recommend.
好游戏,但是不适合不喜欢重复选择自己不想选的选项去进行全收集的玩家,我可能会选择云完剩下其他可能性。
I killed her, I saved her, I loved her, I feared her, I fought her, I lost her, i found her.
The art is amazing. The story is amazing. The game is amazing. It's best that you know as little as possible before playing! The mystery is half the fun.
Great narrative.
She could fix me
极其震撼的游戏,我大概一辈子都不会忘记
Un gioco incredibile, una quantità di scelte e scene immensa, varietà incredibile per i finali e (non si direbbe) dei personaggi. Seguire percorsi diversi è sempre entusiasmante. Una grande storia d'amore.
