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.”
