Don’t believe her lies and uncover the truth behind the dangerous princess in the demo for this Lovecraftian time loop adventure
Black Tabby Games is announcing their second game, Slay the Princess, a cheeky horror tragicomedy. In this fully-voiced roleplaying game, the player is tasked by a mysterious voice to kill a princess who has been imprisoned in a cabin hidden deep in the woods. If the player doesn’t fulfill their task, the voice alleges, the princess will bring about the end of the world. But can the voice be trusted? Can the Princess be trusted? Can anyone be trusted?
Throughout their journey, the player will die a lot. And every time they die, the game starts over, only things are a little different. The cabin is different; the Princess is different; even the voices in the player’s head are different. Everyone, except for the narrator, remembers everything that’s happened.
At its core, Slay the Princess is a game about choice and how our perceptions shape the world around us. Who the player chooses to believe and how they react to new information shifts the story’s direction dramatically, including changing the Princess herself. The next time you see her, will she be an ordinary princess, or will she be a towering, 10-foot-tall demon? Or, will she be something straight out of your nightmares? The demo for Slay the Princess is slated to be released on August 1st, 2022, on Steam. Wishlist the game on Steam to stay up to date on the full release.
