Surreal Horror Visual Novel ‘Slay the Princess’ Out Now on Steam [Trailer]

If you’re looking for game that puts a twist on the traditional “save the princess” trope, Black Tabby Games’ Slay The Princess is now available on Steam for you to do just that. The visual novel has the added incentive of being on sale with a 10% discount from now until November 2nd.

Slay The Princess finds you in the middle of a densely-populated forest, with the trees parting only for you to make way to a small hill adorned by a lone cabin. The Narrator (voiced by Jonathan Sims of The Magnus Archives) asks you the simple eponymous instruction: enter the cabin and slay the princess. If you don’t, the world ends. At least, that’s what you’re told.

Obviously, the princess (voiced by Nichole Goodnight) has other plans, and none of them include dying. She will do and say anything to free herself. Will you do as you’re told and slay the princess…or at least try to? Why not hear her out — after all, she’s the one that was locked up, and the Narrator is the one telling you to murder her…

Nevertheless, you always winds up in the same place, assigned the same task: Slay the Princess. But why is the princess different this time? She may have shifted form into a monster when she bit her own arm off to break free of the chains, but she’s not the same type of monster as she was the last time. And why is everything looping around back to this cabin, anyway? Why is the Narrator so omniscient…but needs you to save the world by slaying the princess?

“It’s up to you to decide the truth,” says Tony Howard-Arias, Lead Writer at Black Tabby Games. “There is no one way through this story, and how players arrive at situations alters the narrative trajectory as much as the scenarios themselves. We’re so curious to see how players react to the story’s context changing along the way and how that affects their decisions moving forward.”

Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on June 4, which means we’re less than one month away from playing.

The developers over at Teravision Games and IllFonic are whetting our appetite even further with two sneak peek videos this week that preview two exciting aspects of the game.

For starters, Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game will feature FEMALE KLOWNS, just like the ’80s movie itself, which you can preview in the first video below.

Additionally, you’ll be able to “create your very own Klownsona” in the game, meaning you can adjust the way your Klown characters look. Get a taste of that system below.

And be sure to read our early preview of the game right here!

Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game can be pre-ordered right now from the STEAM Store, PlayStation Store & Xbox Marketplace. The game has full crossplay support.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game is a 3v7 asymmetrical multiplayer horror game based on the cult horror classic film. When murderous alien Klowns come to feed on the quiet town of Crescent Cove, the locals must work together to fight back and survive the invasion.

Players can team up as either Klowns or humans, choosing from a variety of character classes, to explore an expansive, ever-changing map with creepy surprises waiting around every corner.

  • Take on the role of the iconic Killer Klowns – cooperate in a team of three players, utilize unworldly abilities, hunt humans with zany weapons, and plan your alien invasion to harvest the population of Crescent Cove successfully.
  • Fight back as a team of seven brave citizens of Crescent Cove – explore the city for valuable loot and weapons, avoid getting captured by Klowns, and try to survive the alien invasion.

Developed by Teravision Games and Illfonic, this playfully panic-inducing action experience faithfully recreates the atmosphere of the iconic movie and aims to stir up the asymmetrical multiplayer horror genre in multiple ways. The game is being developed as a live-service title, with multiple content updates planned for post-launch.
