Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

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.
What’s in the Pristine Cut?
3 brand new chapters replete with mysteries—and consequences.
Expansions to familiar routes. The Den, The Apotheosis and The Fury each have each more than doubled in length.
Over 35% more content overall—and all of it filled with great opportunities to listen to me and do your job.
A new ending. And hopefully one that saves the world rather than damns it.
Track Your Progress: Cherish your memories, relive your exploits, and uncover deeply hidden secrets with the new gallery feature.
Over 1,200 New Hand-Penciled Frames hand-illustrated by Abby Howard.
Over 2,500 New Lines of Dialogue fully voiced dialogue by the impeccable Jonathan Sims and Nichole Goodnight.

I cannot recommend this game enough; "Slay the Princess -- The Pristine Cut" is one of my all-time favourite games. This choose-your-own-adventure style gives the player control of the narrative. The hand-drawn artwork is stunning, the characters are compelling, and the concept behind the game is fresh and intriguing. Each full run of the game only takes a few hours, but the game is built with the intention to be replayed and explored. I find myself returning to "Slay the Princess" regularly in a way I don't with most other games.
10/10. I'd seen bits and pieces online, decided to try it myself...wow. What starts out as an odd little narrative quickly evolves into equal parts terrifying horror, heart-wrenching tragedy and odd-ball comedy. And that's your first playthrough, in the simplest terms. Magnificent artwork, stellar voice-acting and brilliant mechanics to the paths you can unlock, Slay the Princess is one of the rare games that stays with you and leaves an impact.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Just so awesome :)
Короче я написал на эту новеллу длинный обзор, офигительный и четкий с расписанными плюсами и минусами, но стим решил не выкладывать его, чему я конечно не рад, но если коротко, то новелла на один раз и все из-за слитого финала который испортил впечатление своим философствованием и богами с мета мирами и прочей хренью, но идея хорошая, жаль что не довернули и все слили. С натяжкой(очень большой) 6/10 90 на метакритик😂
this game is so damn good, its like it was made for a person like me who loves weird esoteric pretentious media. also references my favourite book so thats a plus
目前只玩了一周目，哲学气息非常浓郁，我玩的结局里含有大量黑格尔的逻辑学内容，比如纯存在就是纯虚无，存在与虚无相互变易，变易中实现二者的统一。原来“爱情故事”指的是正反合中的合题口牙！目前我只玩了一个结局，非常期待其他结局内容。
Muy buena historia!!!
10/10 gosto que quando não estamos matando a princesa estamos beijando ela é um 8 ou 80 maravilhoso recomendo, além da trilha sonora do jogo e das artes dele que são maravilhosos
This is one of the few games I've actually gone out of my way to get all the achievements for, which might not mean much to some but as someone that generally finds such things to be a boring drag and not worth the time, it's a huge deal coming from me. I've actually had this on my wishlist since before it even came out, I've only just recently finally sat down to play it, I almost wish I had played it sooner but I also think I ended up picking it up at the perfect time in my life. This game is about a lot of things, love, solitude, becoming an indomitable force of nature, forgiveness, fear, skepticism, learning to trust again and so much more. I urge you to buy this as an experience not just as a game. [spoiler]Become An Empty Void that dared to dream it was alive.[/spoiler]
It's genuinely so good. I loved the voice acting in it (if you like the magnus archives, you'll love the narrator and all the other voices). The parallax made it so immersive as well alongside the voice acting and it was super fun trying to collect all the achievements.
