Slay the Princess is a horror game, and it is not intended for children or those easily disturbed. Please visit our website (https://www.blacktabbygames.com/content-warnings) if you need a full list of content warnings.
The game is fully voiced in English, but subtitles are available in Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Spanish (LATAM and Spain), Korean, French, Russian, German, Italian, Polish, and Brazilian Portuguese.
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.
... don't you trust me?
Features
- 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. 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!
- Time loops No time loops. Don't be ridiculous. Time is a strictly linear concept and it certainly doesn't "loop," whatever that's supposed to mean.
- A branching narrative where what you say and what you believe determines both your build and how the story unfolds.
- A new roleplaying experience from the creators of Scarlet Hollow.
- Fully voice-acted by the impeccable Jonathan Sims and Nichole Goodnight.
What's new 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.

played this on the nintendo adn it is SO PEAK dude literally perfect 5 star 10/10 game wish i could play for the first time again i WOULD RECCOMEND TO EVERYONE I KNOW!!!! especially if you like love stories between cosmic beings/gods, time loops, games that make you think, and games where your choices have impact!! even if not all of those are your favorite you still have to play it! it has such awesome storytelling, a great mix of comedy and seriousness (ive both laughed my ass off and cried my eyes off playing this), the art is AMAZING, theres also no dedicated villian or "bad" character/outcome, its based on how you percieve it, and all of the different princesses and voices are so interesting and fun to analyze! best game EVER its so worth the 18 dollars you NEED TO PLAY IT IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY!! also i would def go in blind i think it would make the experiencemuch more awesome!! madly in love with all the princesses <3
is the demo not available anymore ?
Just played it, it is
This game is just Amazing.
Absolutely beautiful game. One of the ones you wish you could experience again for the first time. 100% a 10/10.
Tried the game out and it's pretty cool, lots of variety
i loved this game, can somebody suggest me more games like it
I know this is a month old but this same company made Scarlet Hollow, an in-progress visual novel that's also incredible.
ame este juego y tambien una pregunta sacara una en fisico para xbox
A very beautiful story about love and death, I liked it.
How long did this game bin make
Heart. Lungs. Liver. Nerves.

Yo had a ton of Fun with this Game!!!
Hi, I just purchased this game but unfortunately I have been unable to successfully download it despite multiple attempts. Is this normal? How can I fix this?
Princess hunt is ON❗️📣
Love this game so much
fr
GOT THIS ON STEAM AND I LOVE IT SM! just a lil question, is black tabby games doing anything like the pristine cut again?
Anyone else having problems running this on the MAC? I've ran the chmod command, used UnArchiver, so far whenever I try to run the game, it keeps crashing.
most likely because its made on ren'py
Question: Why is all the audio stored as wav-files instead of e.g. mp3 in the game? mp3 files are roughly 1/10 of the size without a noticeable quality difference, so the whole game would take half of the size on disk (since audio was half of the size usage, at least in the demo)
because renpy, the program used to make this doesn't work well with mp3 files for some reason. When I use them it's a 50/50 chance they'll work.
I finally got around to actually play this game!
I only played the demo before, and honestly it didn't really catched my interest, but I'm growing to like it.
I'm definitely in for a Princess hunt! 😸
Zip file doesn't work on Linux. It's corrupt.

The full game is on steam right now, though they’re thinking about upgrading those who buy it rn to the digital deluxe version when it releases. They’re gonna be adding more content and this is JUST the demo.
Holy this was amazing to play! Silly me didn't realize I had already wishlisted this on Steam so I fully intend to get the full game and play it. But seriously awesome job Devs!
I think I am close to the end :) This is such a beautiful , crazy game!
you kinda just set a new bar for visual novel horror, like hot damn lol thank you!

This is by far the best visual novel I have played! Before I played this, Roomah Gaming had some of the best VN to play, now I am glad I discovered Black Tabby Games:
