Hi everyone!
Apologies for the new download - we've just just finished re-rendering every animation in the demo to help make the game more CPU efficient, which means every animation needs to be re-downloaded for this new patch. At least on the machine we've used for development, this update should reduce CPU usage from between 50% to 2/3 with minimal loss of visual quality.
It's possible that some older machines might still struggle with the load of layered HD animations, but as of yesterday's patch, the game now also has a toggle to turn those animations off in the options menu, at which point it should be no more resource intensive than any other visual novel.
Cheers,
Tony and Abby

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 loopsNo 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.
Slay the Princess is a choice-driven psychological horror visual novel/dating sim with dramatic branching, light RPG elements, and hand-penciled art.
