Slay The Princess – The Pristine Cut Switch Review

Slay the Princess – The Pristine Reduce is a visible novel within the type of one thing known as The Stanley Parable. I’ve not performed The Stanley Parable, however I’ve it downloading since it’s on sale as of the writing. The purpose is to make selections, often a binary a or b, however typically extra. There aren’t any improper selections, as no what matter you do, you might be led in the direction of a foregone conclusion. You’re a hero, and your job is a slay a princess chained up in a cabin basement. If you happen to attempt to slay the princess, like I did, you’ll fail, after which die. Then Chapter II will begin and the cabin will likely be fully totally different. You’ll find yourself dying once more and find yourself firstly of chapter I to repeat. However issues will likely be totally different this time round…

Slay the Princess is straight Cosmic Horror, there’s even a set off warning firstly. HP Lovecraft is a direct affect right here. The sport will get weirder and weirder as time goes on as you repeat attempting to slay the princess. Even the narrator change into unreliable. The Stanley Parable was a recreation made for critics to slobber over. Time will inform if I slobber over that recreation, however I’m not slobbering right here. I like cosmic horror, however I used to be left with a large sense of “meh” on the finish. No emotional response in anyway. Perhaps I’m too jaded. Perhaps I’m too onerous to scare. It could possibly be that Slay the Princess revealed an excessive amount of on the finish, or relied an excessive amount of on metaphysical mumbo-jumbo at occasions to be scary.

I received’t knock Slay the Princess too onerous. The voice work is nice. The artwork is effectively executed. I simply couldn’t muster up any cause to care. The one cause I sat by way of it’s as a result of its not that lengthy. Two to 3 hours. Though the sport is replayable as a result of you may make fully totally different selections and see you the way issues play out in another way. So the right way to rating it? The decision will likely be a Your Mileage Might Fluctuate, however the again finish rating will likely be an eight. Slay the Princess is a good recreation, it simply doesn’t deliver the scary sufficient for me to really suggest it.

Total: Slay the Princess The Pristine Reduce is an fascinating cosmic horror visible novel. Sadly, I simply didn’t discover it scary in any respect.

Verdict: YMMV
