Hey folks! Happy to put out a chunky update today - I just finished remixing and remastering Slay the Princess' audio. Voice lines in particular should have far less variation in loudness with the new build. As part of the remastering process, we also switched voice and non-looping SFX over to FLAC, which shaved about 2.5 gigs off the total install. I don't think we'll be taking things any further on that front, since we'd like to keep both audio + visuals lossless. If you run into any bugs front this update, please verify your install before reporting the issue. Steam sometimes has some trouble trouble with larger patches for Ren'py games, and there's enough of you saving the world that a few of you are bound to get corrupted installs from the patch. While mixing should be much better overall, please let me know if you run into issues, particularly around any specific voices being too loud or quiet on their given routes. Some of the softer voices were tough to find the right level for, since bringing them too close to the baseline most characters use made them sound far too loud (hunted, cold, and paranoid were the biggest offenders.) Aside from any bug fixes over the next week or so, this will be the last update the game is getting before The Pristine Cut some time next year. And as one last added note, there are 8 days left to pick up a Thorn poster!
Extras will go up in our shop after we're done printing, but they'll be a little more expensive then, and I'm not sure how big a print run we'll be doing outside of pre-orders. Here's the link: https://topatoco.com/products/ah-stp-thorn-pr All the best, and happy holidays! Tony and Abby

• 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.
