‘Slay The Princess’ Celebrates 100K Copies Sold With New Accolades Trailer [Watch]
Black Tabby Games has announced that their psychological horror visual novel title Slay The Princess has earned a cool 100,000 copies sold since its launch back in October, as well as achieving a 91 on Metacritic with the Metacritic Must Play badge. To celebrate the milestone, the developer has released a new accolades trailer, which just so happens to feature a quote from Aaron’s review of Slay The Princess.
Per the press release, Slay the Princess becomes one of only a few visual novels to reach the 100,000 sales mark.
“It’s been absolutely incredible to see such a positive reception from fans, critics, creators, and everyone,” says Tony Howard-Arias, Lead Writer at Black Tabby Games. “People making time to not just play our game but to replay it, share their experiences, create art, and write fan fiction in a world where so many games demand your attention has been a real honor.”
Slay The Princess is now available on PC via Steam for $17.99, alongside a $9.99 Supporter’s Pack containing the OST. And if you’re keen on more of Black Tabby Games’ titles, there’s also a bundled discount available with their Early Access title, Scarlet Hollow.
In Slay The Princess, you find yourself 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 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.
Fans of Strange Scaffold and publisher Frosty Pop’s apocalyptic Life Eater have another reason to keep coming back to the game, as the much-anticipated Endless Mode is available now. Best of all, it’s a free update!
The new endless mode gives Life Eater players an arena to determine how long they can evade capture while delaying the end of the world. Collect score points called ZEAL by building an airtight procedure around your sacrifices, investigate the lives of countless procedurally generated kidnapping targets, and survive as long as possible in your personal gauntlet of nightmares.
“We’re so excited to expand the playtime of Life Eater with a uniquely dark and intriguing systemic experience,” says Strange Scaffold founder Xalavier Nelson Jr. “You really just terrorize an entire city of people over the span of decades, now, and I can only hope that I don’t come to regret writing that sentence in a press release.”
For those not in the know, Life Eater (check out Aaron’s review here) is a horror fantasy kidnapping simulator where you play as a druid living in suburbia. You serve a dark entity by abducting and sacrificing specific but vaguely described humans every year to stop the apocalypse. Use a unique video editing-inspired interface to discover the intimate lives of your victims, one schedule block at a time. When the time is right, abduct them before authorities find out.
You can snag a copy of Life Eater on Steam.
