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.

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.
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.
It's a good game, much more in-depth than it would seem from the surface. This is, however, not a game that I am comfortable replaying for completion's sake. The endings contain an existential finality that makes me incredibly uncomfortable, and by extension, is good horror. I would definitely recommend this game for its contents, however, consider this a warning that the existential horror of it all can be too much for some to handle in certain parts of their lives. Me included.
What a fantastic game. It's incredible how all choices affect the story in some way. I love the great voice acting, the beautiful art and the amazing soundtrack.
literally altered my brain! play if u love horror and romance
这是一个关于自我的哲学和心理故事,说实话其实玩到最后才能体会到作者为什么会将其划分到爱情故事的范畴,因为主角和公主本为一体的爱在剧情中贯穿始终,最后得以让人共情,整部作品讲述了非常多的观点,包括自由意志,精神的自主性,矛盾的影响等等,同时参杂了一些心里恐怖于相对比较血腥的情节,可以说是一个非常立体的心理向游戏了,我个人非常喜欢这种游戏
Well, Yahtzee finally reviewed it and among other things said, "I wish it went on longer," which for him is practically a love letter in red ink on pink perfumed paper. And the dot on every "i" is a little heart.
