What is Slay the Princess: The Pristine Cut?
No matter what the voices say, what happens inside the cabin is ultimately up to you… up to a point.
Slay the Princess: The Pristine Cut officially releases onOct.
Are there real endings, or are there only new beginnings?
And in the basement of that cabin is a Princess.
You’re here to slay her.
If you don’t, it will be the end of the world."
At first, your mission is simple and your decisions equally so.
No matter what the voices say, what happens inside the cabin is ultimately up to you… up to a point.
That’s the “good” ending, but is that the only ending you’ll find?
I won’t say anything more beyond that.
Just like with The Stanley Parable, the less you know about Slay the Princess, the better.
Even how you first enter the cabin’s basement can alter the trajectory of everything that happens after.
Go in as blind as possible and don’t let any one ending deter you.
“The end is never the end,” after all.
The words with which the story is woven are beautiful, thought-provoking, or just downright terrifying.

I’ve spent 10 hours in Slay the Princess and have yet to discover all there is to discover.
Menus suffered from visual issues, with items and options not highlighting correctly or responsively.
The menus themselves are rough around the edges.

This is one such visual novel, and it’s awesome.
This being a visual novel is a blessing or a curse, depending on your perspective.
I say the former, but you might say the latter.
Slay the princess, save the princess, trap the princess… Three choices may not seem like a lot, but it is.(Image credit: Windows Central)

The journey is worth the imperfections.
The end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end
