Something tells me I'm gonna be sticking with this software for a while...

Slay the Princess is a brilliant rollercoaster of emotions, taking full advantage of the visual novel format. Captivating from start to finish, it managed to break through my initial skepticism as someone who generally finds visual novels to be hit-or-miss and just absolutely capture my imagination. The art is stunning and incredibly distinct in its mostly-monochrome, penciled style, coupled with some of the most detailed and articulate writing I've read in a video game. There is an OVERWHELMING amount of options that, while not all affecting the plot, all offer their share of witty and interesting dialogue, building and complementing the greater narrative while keeping the overall mystery of the game alive and thriving for your first (or first few) playthroughs. The music and voice acting are incredibly immersive, often bouncing across different genres of horror seamlessly with humor to match. All of it combines into a narrative with a message to give, making it a prime example of games as art.

I would say StP is probably one of the best visual novel experiences I can think of, both for newcomers to the genre and dedicated fans alike! I found myself loving this game and being affected by its story so much, that I opted to 100% it (which I don't often do for games), and I enjoyed it the entire way through. I can't recommend it enough-- especially if you're able to go into the game blind.
