Slay the Princess

Slay the Princess is a choice-driven psychological horror visual novel with branching paths and light role-playing elements. You walk through the woods to a cabin, where a Princess waits in the basement. You are told to kill her to prevent the end of the world, while she tries to stop you with charm, lies and promises. If you let her, she will kill you repeatedly. Another voice objects that princesses should be saved, not slain.

Choices and consequences

What you say and believe shapes both who you become and how the story unfolds. The game has dramatic branching, and the choices lead to mysteries and consequences. The Princess is described as an ordinary human Princess, and attempting to romance her will not end well.

Art and performances

The game uses hand-penciled backgrounds and character art, drawn traditionally with pencil and paper by graphic novelist Abby Howard. Jonathan Sims and Nichole Goodnight provide the fully voiced dialogue.
