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. 

Press reviews: “An existentially horrific visual novel, with an incredibly well-written plot, a beautiful score and graphics that will enrapture all senses. One of the best narrative games of 2023.” 10/10 – Voxel Smash “Slay the Princess is a dazzling game, dripping with charm, brilliance, and emotion. Last year, GameSpot included the title on its Best PC Games of 2024 list. A year later, both time and The Pristine Cut have intensified my love for the title” 9/10 – Gamespot “The Pristine Cut has made one of the best “choices matter” games of all time even better. The new routes weave into the overall narrative perfectly and add more depth to an already excellent game.” 10/10 – Sports Illustrated
