Slay the Princess — The Pristine Cut

Excelente historia y un apartado artístico precioso. Es uno de esos pocos juegos que me gustaría poder olvidar solo para volver a experimentarlo por primera vez. Un 10/10.

A beautiful visual novel that has to be played for yourself to get the full experience.

Got to say I'm disappointed with this one. I was expecting more of a conversation with the princess with her trying to manipulate you but it feels like the conversation ends pretty quickly. It's okay if you get it on sale but I would not recommend full price.

Dialogue, art, and music are all way to good for me to not recommend this. This game was, very frequently, laugh out loud funny. The art is actually stunning in its aesthetics and I loved it, and the music really elevated pivotal scenes in a way where they just wouldn't have landed without it. Meanwhile, the narrator and princess VAs should be incredibly proud of their performances. Just great work all around. Having said that, there are some minor criticisms I have. For one, calling this a horror game or psychological horror game feels borderline laughable. The princess looking like a monster from a horror movie doesn't make this a horror game. The games narrative doesn't have enough real stakes or consequences for that to work. You're in a time loop where your character never actually suffers from any of the psychological damage that can make a time loop horror game interesting (indeed, your character is essentially intrinsically immune to being harmed in any meaningful way), there's no real meta-mystery to figure out because the game tells you what you need to do pretty quickly, and you are essentially funneled straight to what most people would consider either practically the best or second best ending. In terms of theme, this game essentially hits the same core beats as you would if you were trying to make a soul-making theodicy but you were literally the theo part, IYKYK.

A pretty girl stabbed me. 10/10
