About Slay the Princess — The Pristine Cut
✦ AI summary
You descend into a cabin basement to slay a princess before she destroys the world, but her supernatural charm and cunning will test whether you can stay focused on your mission or fall under her spell. This choice-driven psychological horror visual novel features hand-penciled art, fully voiced performances, and branching paths that shift based on your beliefs and decisions.
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.
- 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.

Endlessly mind bending and fascinating. It's one of those games that immediately makes you fall for it and you'll never forget playing. The twisted philosopies it proposes, the airtight writing, the seemingly neverending branching routes (13 hours in and I've only scratched half of the achievements), the beautiful artworks, and the lovable personalities. The sheer concepts alone will be worth combing through even if you're not typically a visual novel player. I don't think there's any other game that can feel like this.
I love this game so much. It has such a cool story and it has my favorite voice actor
i liked the part where i did my job and killed the princess and nothing else happened. because that happens in the game.
Wonderfully creative story telling and quality writing. If you want to see all the paths/achievements there are some good guides for finding things you missed. Must have for any VN enthusiast.
Actually peak dating sim
This game is...unlike any game I've ever played. It's...so simple in its mechanics but so profound in its storytelling and ability to translate player choice into meaningful (often shocking, even) consequences. The game loop is relatively fast...between that and how the story unfolds, you will NOT be bored...You simply have to play to understand.
