Yo, listen up, gamers! Black Tabby Games, the devs behind Scarlet Hollow, are rollin’ out with their surreal horror visual novel, Slay the Princess. Mark your calendars for October 20th, 2023. The game’s hitting Steam for PC, Mac, Linux, and Steam Deck. The big reveal happened at Fear Fest, and let’s just say, it’s gonna make you question your every move.
Choices, Choices: Your Quest to Save the World
The narrator of the game, voiced by Jonathan Sims from The Magnus Archives, ain’t giving you the full deets. According to this dude, the Princess is an “existential threat” to the world. Walk into the cabin, grab that blade, and make the call. But here’s the catch—each time you do, you find yourself back at that same cabin, but the Princess? Yeah, she’s changing, fam.
A Meta-Narrative with Style to Spare
Abby Howard, an Ignatz-winning graphic novelist, is the mastermind behind the game’s hand-penciled monochromatic art. The game doesn’t just feature your standard branching paths; it delivers a meta-narrative that’s as twisted as your headphone cords. Think you’ve seen déjà vu? Think again.
The Unpredictable Twists: It’s All in Your Choices
The game lets you question everything, from the motives of the princess to the mysterious narrator’s ominous words. Hold strong or falter; each choice you make will bend the narrative. The Princess, voiced by Nichole Goodnight, will try to escape, manipulate, or even tell the truth. So, what’s it gonna be? Slay or be slain?
Pricing and Discounts: Know Before You Buy
Don’t forget, Slay the Princess rolls out on Steam with a price tag of $17.99. Early birds get a 10% launch discount, so keep those eyes peeled.
Developer Insights: Trust is Fragile
Tony Howard-Arias, Lead Writer at Black Tabby Games, sums it up: “Trust is a fragile thing.” You’re set on slaying the Princess, but every choice you make shakes up the world and your relationship with its characters. The devs can’t wait for players to navigate this wild ride.
Alright, G-LYFE Nation, that’s the lowdown on Slay the Princess. Keep those controllers ready and your moral compasses steady. Game on!
