Slay the Princess Development Timeline and Scarlet Hollow Episode 4!

Hey folks! We've finally finished Scarlet Hollow Episode 4, which means it's time to start thinking about what the rest of Slay the Princess' development is going to look like. A word on the former before we get to the latter. For those of you not in the know, Scarlet Hollow is our other game, an episodic horror visual novel, currently on Episode 4 of our planned seven. It's a little different than Slay the Princess, but a lot of the same heart is there.

It's choices matter horror game with a healthy dose of humor.
All of the art is hand-illustrated by Abby Howard (who is also one of the co-creators and the illustrator for Slay the Princess.)
It's a more grounded story, where you're investigating a series of paranormal events in a small town tied together by an unseen thread.
The game is too expansive/complicated for us to add voice acting, so unlike Slay the Princess, you'll have to do some reading.

To celebrate Episode 4's release, Scarlet Hollow is currently 20% off, and players who own the game will get a special launch discount for Slay the Princess when it releases! So if that's the sort of thing that interests you, check it out ^^ Onto Slay the Princess and our overall development timeline. Slay the Princess is our primary project at this point until it's finished. Some work is still going to be done on Scarlet Hollow in the meantime, but we've structured our workload so that both games can be written in parallel without slowing things down too much. It's too early to say exactly when the finished version of Slay the Princess will be ready, but we're aiming for next summer, and given how quickly we were able to produce the demo, we feel pretty optimistic about that goal. That being said, we're a studio that always prioritizes quality over rushing games out the door, so that's subject to change. At least as things stand right now, though, Summer feels like more than enough time to tell the story we want to tell! At some point before the full release, there'll be an updated version of the demo! Nothing too huge, but there's a few edits we'd like to make, and there's an interesting mechanic we had planned for the game that, timing-wise, just didn't make the cut for the original version of the demo, but that we'd like to share with you before you see the full game. Thank you so much, as always, for the huge enthusiasm you've showered on our project! We're both so excited to put our heads down and share the rest of the story with you. Best, ~Tony and Abby

Warning: this game contains occasional flashing images. If this poses a health risk to you, please proceed with caution.

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.

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