Hey everyone! I know you've all been extremely hyped and patient for Slay the Princess' release, but we had some issues passing certification on Steam that forced us to delay until Monday. Those issues were finally resolved as of this morning, but that resolution happened after we already had to confirm a delay for other storefronts, and we want to make sure everyone we work with gets to launch the game at the same time. The new release date and time is Monday October 23rd at 10am EST. We're probably even more upset about this delay than you are we've been working around the clock for months to get this game as good as possible for release, but fortunately it's just going to be a few more days! And we're going to be taking advantage of these extra few days to restore some content we had to cut to make tomorrow's release date. You'll only get to play Slay the Princess for the first time once, so we're excited for the opportunity to make a lot of people's first experiences even better. On a brighter note, early reviews for the game have been absolutely glowing, so you're going to be in for a treat. Here's a snippet to keep your hype train going:

• "An existentially horrific visual novel, with an incredibly well-written plot, a beautiful score and graphics that will enrapture all senses. One of the best narrative games of 2023." 10/10 - Voxel Smash
• "There isnt a single thing I dont like about Slay the Princess. The presentation is beautiful, the story is fantastic and moving, the voice acting of amazing characters is done phenomenally well, and the branching paths of the story give you what feels like unlimited possibilities." - 10/10 - Try Hard Guides
• "Slay the Princess is a prime example of why visual novels are one of the most powerful and hard-hitting offerings in gaming today. Its an astounding tale where nearly every aspect elevates its narrative to new heights." 9/10 - Press Space to Jump
• "Pierced throughout with evocative, hand-drawn visuals and flawless voice-acting, Slay the Princess might have just slashed its way to the top of my favorite games this year." The Indie Informer - 9.5/10
• "An all at once engaging, intriguing, funny, satisfying, and deep experience." 9.5/10 - PC Invasion
• "Slay the Princess will stay with you for a long time, I think. Its absurdist and dark and haunting in a way that not a lot of games are. If you have an itch for something thats spooky but also morally confronting and you will be thinking about it for days to come, its impossible not to recommend this." A- - Player 2

• 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.
