Played through it a couple days ago, only to find that there was a new demo- comparing them with a fresh memory, I can definitely see the improvements that were made, and the new material is just as great. The mirror is definitely intriguing...
Great Demo! Really like the voice acting, they really add A LOT to the experience and really deliver in those subtle ways that make the game so much more fun. Added the game to my steam wish list and can't wait for the full release!
probably the best choice based game I ever played in my entire life. Other choice-based games usually lead to the same path or have a limit, but this game seems like **it has endless possibilities!!** I'm into visual novels but having voice actors really bring the story to life, not a lot of visual novels do that.
If you are a YouTuber or any type of common player that don't feel like reading, I highly recommend this game. I can go on and on of how amazing this game is but for God's sake just play it for yourself!
As for the creator of this game I am waiting for the full release excitedly waiting (how I'm feeling) this is the biggest game coming out on steam!
Slay the princess is a delightful masterpiece and it is only the demo version! This is my new favourite game so I wholeheartedly recommend everyone to try it out.
Also yes that is Jonathan Sims 10/10 just for the exasperated sighs alone!
I've been putting off the new chapters in Scarlet Hollow cause I wanted to wait for the full release... but honestly this is just gonna make me play it now lol
Hi managed to stumble on to this on steam and wow was it worth playing just the demo alone has so much content I was so surprised I just kept finding more routes. Full game has a lotta hype now good luck! Here's ,y all endings playthrough -
Very interesting and I will follow this, however I will say I never had experienced frame drops on a VN before lol. And it's not like I have a weak PC. Disabling the wave effect fixes it but it takes a lot out imo
Gotta Say though I didn't have enough time to go through all the endings the 3 - 4 that I did see was just SO GOOD!! I absolutely loved this & I can't wait for the full release of this gem.
The game should have a fps limiter because it's consuming more resources than it needs, it's using 80% of my pc and it's too much for a 2D graphic novel game. It is very easy to implement, pls consider it ;)
Hi – as of the latest update, the framerate should be locked at at max of 30fps, and there have been numerous optimizations to the animations. That being said, the game runs natively at 1080p and uses layered animations to create the parallax effect when you move your mouse, so it's still going to be more hardware intensive than your average VN.
To make things more accessible to players, we also added an animation toggle in the preferences section of the game that can let you swap those animations out for still images, which reduces the resource load to be completely negligible.
I've been going into it again and again, and I've been having a great time just seeing how many options and alternatives are crammed into this small demo. I'm really excited to see what comes in the future!
I really enjoyed the demo of Slay The Princess. Because my feedback was not enough in the video, so I’d like to add some more here instead. I really appreciate that the stereotypical “SAVE The Princess” style has transformed into suspense and psychological tactics horror. Thanks to the effort of the voice acting, players might be able to have rich immersive visual novel experience. The art style is quite simple but I almost got 90s manga comic vibe. The demo gives you a plenty of time to understand the game. I’m looking forward to the full release. Even though Japanese language is not available yet, I’m hoping to see the option in the official release. The subtitle within you see in the video was added by me. It's not official but I hope this helps to reach Japanese market.
Holy hell this is incredible! I've never seen a demo so good! I have literally no critiques, the endings you can achieve are already interesting, the game demands your attention and makes you curious from the get go. My favorite voice is The Narrator, the guy should not do anything different cuz he's perfect and I love him lol.
One question though, will the full game have option to lower the graphics? Maybe the ability to make the screen stop moving with the mouse if we want? As much as I liked it, I was also dropping frames. It was pretty bad.
I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for this one, very ambitious project.
A horrow visual novel with this much branching and this good of art is one thing, but a fully voice acted one? by Jonathan Sims, the voice of the magnus archives? It can't get any better. Even the demo feels like it could be a full game withthe amount that's gone into it. 10/10 would reccommend.
Quite honestly the best demo I've ever played! An engrossing and strange story, gorgeous/disturbing art and top notch voice acting! Really looking forward to the full game!

There's 11 "endings", as far as this demo is concerned.

I feel as if I am using this word kinda wrong, but it's adorable. Ö.Ō
Good and probably hard work.
I enjoyed reading the dev logs as well. ♥
When will there be a full version of this?

The game is really interesting and love all the choices and outcomes that happens in the story!

Had a blast with this demo, the Narrator is too fun to disobey. I can't wait for the full release!
I've been putting off the new chapters in Scarlet Hollow cause I wanted to wait for the full release... but honestly this is just gonna make me play it now lol

Unique game concept, awesome art and sound design.
Very fresh and artistic horror vision.
That feeling when you are scared because nothing "unusual" is happening on the screen...
Gotta Say though I didn't have enough time to go through all the endings the 3 - 4 that I did see was just SO GOOD!! I absolutely loved this & I can't wait for the full release of this gem.

Very nice mystery novel and the voice acting is good.

Post demo survey if anyone wants to fill it out! https://forms.gle/PizcJv6qmTiUEfrv8
i downloaded it, but when i started it the game didn't start, and i don't know what to do :/
please help.
What operating system are you on?
windows 7 ultimate 64bit
Have you tried running as an administrator? And are you running the correct executable? (The .exe rather than the .sh or .app?)
yes, i tried, but it doesn't work...
the problem is not that you didn't put a 32bit and 64bit separated? or i don't know...
Cheers

We’re working on a graphics toggle that should be patched into the demo before the end of the week!
I'm obsessed
the stranger and the nightmare gave me chills.

Wonderful art, great voice acting, and a compelling start to the story. Can't wait for the full version to come out!
Gave the Demo a Let's Play, the Princess is very charming. :)
I'm already obsessed with this game. Only two achievements in the demo I haven't gotten, and I'm determined to find them!
Quite honestly the best demo I've ever played! An engrossing and strange story, gorgeous/disturbing art and top notch voice acting! Really looking forward to the full game!
This demo was great! Lots of fun ideas and interactions, can't wait to see what happens as more events start occurring.
