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!

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.
