Hey folks!
Now that we're back from an incredibly exciting PAX, I want to do a devlog about the new demo. To that end, here's a survey that'll help with the writeup (and that'll help us mathematically determine Best Girl): https://forms.gle/zCsktLotoEP16bbj7
Also, while you're here, a quick update on the past couple of weeks, as well as what's to come.
We've been floored by the overall reception to the new demo not only has the community response been incredibly, warm, but Slay the Princess has been making the rounds across the press space.
Here's just a few highlights from the past couple of weeks:
Slay the Princess also won *two* best in show awards at PAX, which is absolutely wild.
So, what comes next? For the most part, it's just going to be putting our heads down and finishing the game. All of the major plot points for Slay the Princess have been outlined and ironed out, so now it's just a matter of putting them into the game, creating more art, and recording more lines. While it's too early to announce a specific release date, we're shooting for Q3 of this year, with making sure the game is out in time for spooky season being our driving force. And given the rate we've been working at, that timeline feels pretty reasonable to us!
We'll be keeping this page up to date as we make more progress, but if you'd like more frequent updates, you can find them by:
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 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.
