00:00:00.660 --> 00:00:01.890
- [Narrator] Slay the Princess,

2
00:00:01.890 --> 00:00:05.010
the horror visual novel
from Black Tabby Games

3
00:00:05.010 --> 00:00:09.630
is secretly one of the most
compelling stories of 2023.

4
00:00:09.630 --> 00:00:14.340
Black Tabby, the same team
behind the Spooky Scarlet Hollow

5
00:00:14.340 --> 00:00:16.800
are steady hands at this genre.

6
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.520
As the title suggests, your
job is to execute a princess

7
00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:23.370
who has been imprisoned in
the basement of a cabin.

8
00:00:23.370 --> 00:00:25.800
How much fight can a
captive put up anyway?

9
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:29.670
Well, it turns out she's
actually an all powerful monster

10
00:00:29.670 --> 00:00:31.950
capable of destroying the world.

11
00:00:31.950 --> 00:00:34.650
At least that's what you've been told

12
00:00:34.650 --> 00:00:37.800
by a narrator who's pretty
cagey on the details.

13
00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:39.990
Why do you have to be
the one who kills her?

14
00:00:39.990 --> 00:00:42.570
How is she gonna obliterate entire planet?

15
00:00:42.570 --> 00:00:44.610
Who is telling you that
you're the only one

16
00:00:44.610 --> 00:00:48.510
who can save the good
people of, wherever you are?

17
00:00:48.510 --> 00:00:51.870
Her monstrous nature takes
a variety of grotesque forms

18
00:00:51.870 --> 00:00:55.050
each time you walk down
the cabin's staircase.

19
00:00:55.050 --> 00:00:58.230
Our gal's appearance is
determined by your choices.

20
00:00:58.230 --> 00:01:00.990
She can manifest as a bestial predator,

21
00:01:00.990 --> 00:01:02.910
a doll like nightmare,

22
00:01:02.910 --> 00:01:05.943
or even a deceptively innocent maiden.

23
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.590
Slay the Princess repeats its
core premise over and over,

24
00:01:10.590 --> 00:01:13.080
but with each successive
walk to the cabin,

25
00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:18.080
it becomes clear nothing and
no one is what they seem.

26
00:01:18.420 --> 00:01:21.510
Each word you utter and
each action you take

27
00:01:21.510 --> 00:01:24.600
will determine what you
face in the basement,

28
00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:28.890
with every permutation bringing
you closer to the truth.

29
00:01:28.890 --> 00:01:31.200
All of these philosophical
questions culminate

30
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:35.070
in one of the most memorable
finales of any game this year.

31
00:01:35.070 --> 00:01:36.900
Every route is worth taking

32
00:01:36.900 --> 00:01:39.270
and they all lead to a stunning conclusion

33
00:01:39.270 --> 00:01:42.063
that makes each run all
the more meaningful.
